Power consumption of digital systems may increase significantly during testing. In this paper, systems equipped with a scan-based built-in self-test like the STUMPS architecture a...
Modern embedded processors access the Branch Target Buffer (BTB) every cycle to speculate branch target addresses. Such accesses, quite often, are unnecessary as there is no branc...
— This paper proposes a selective pattern-compression scheme to minimize both test power and test data volume during scan-based testing. The proposed scheme will selectively supp...
Energy-efficient processor design is becoming more and more important with technology scaling and with high performance requirements. Supply-voltage scaling is an efficient way to...

Overheating has been acknowledged as a major issue in testing complex SOCs. Several power constrained system-level DFT solutions (power constrained test scheduling) have recently ...
