Testing and Fault Tolerance

The usage of electronic systems in applications where failures may result in critical consequences (e.g., in space, aircraft, automobiles, trains, biomedical equipment) requires ensuring that the probability of a failure does not exceed some maximum threshold. This can be achieved by identifying and removing defective products (test) and by making products resilient to faults (fault tolerance). 

The course introduces methods and techniques for the design of reliable electronic circuits and systems, with special emphasis on the tests performed to identify products affected by hardware faults, and on the solutions to harden electronic products with respect to faults.
