Abstract

Methods are proposed to estimate the relationship between probabilistic and order models for simulating functional failures of the large-scale integrated circuits (LSICs) based on Brauer’s fuzzy digital automaton and on a probabilistic automaton for reliability evaluation. In the first case, the behavior of the LSIC is determined by varying static and dynamic parameters; in the second case, by the statistical straggling of threshold failure levels.
