Abstract: Three proceduces for testing register decoding, instruction decoding, data transfer, data storage and data manipulation function faults in microprocessors are described step-by-step in this paper. Each procedure is used for testing several types, instead of one type, of functional faults to simplify the testing. In addition, WRITE and READ decoding faults are tested separately, the proceduees presented in this paper thus have high fault coverage and efficiency.
