This paper shows that by creating functional scan chains at the register-transfer level (RTL), not only the timing of the circuit can be improved, but also the test data compressi...
Designing a testable circuit is often a two step process. First, the circuit is designed to conform to the functional specifications. Then, the testability aspects are added. By t...
This paper discusses an automated method to build scan chains at the register-transfer level (RTL) for powerconstrained at-speed testing. By analyzing a circuit at the RTL, where ...
— With advanced VLSI manufacturing technology in deep submicron (DSM) regime, we can integrate entire electronic systems on a single chip (SoC). Due to the complexity in SoC desi...
This paper presents 3LSSD, a novel, easilyautomatable approach for scan insertion and ATPG of asynchronous circuits. 3LSSD inserts scan latches only into global circuit feedback p...
