Conversion of the flip-flops of the circuit into scan cells helps ease the test challenge; yet test application time is increased as serial shift operations are employed. Furthe...
Reducing circuit's peak current plays an important role in circuit reliability in deep sub-micron era. For sequential circuits, it is observed that the peak current has a str...
— With increasing process fluctuations in nano-scale technology, testing for delay faults is becoming essential in manufacturing test to complement stuck-at-fault testing. Desig...
— Reduction in test power is important to improve battery life in portable devices employing periodic self-test, to increase reliability of testing and to reduce test-cost. In sc...
