Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Module 04

Course subject(s) Logic and Fault Simulation

This module is about logic and fault simulations. The first half of the slides is dedicated to logic simulation and the second half to fault simulation.

The logic simulation part starts with its definition, followed by an explanation on simulation for design verification and simulation models. A distinction is made between compiled-code simulation and event-driven simulation.

Next, the topic of fault simulation is discussed. A typical fault simulation problem is given and a fault simulator for test is discussed. Thereafter, four fault simulation algorithms are discussed: serial, parallel, deductive and concurrent. Finally, alternatives to fault simulation are given.

Corresponding to material treated in this module come the following textbook chapters: Chapter 5.
