Although the energy required to perform a logic operation has continuously dropped at least by ten orders of magnitude since early vacuumtube electronics [1], the increasing clock ...
Various X-filling methods have been proposed for reducing the shift and/or capture power in scan testing. The main drawback of these methods is that X-filling for low power leads t...
