Scan-based architectures, though widely used in modern designs, are expensive in power consumption. In this paper, we present a new technique that allows to design power-optimized...
The interconnection network consumes the majority of die area in an FPGA. Presented is a scalable manufacturing test method for all SRAM-based FPGAs, able to detect multiple inter...
Defect tolerance will become more important as feature sizes shrink closer to single digit nanometer dimensions. This is true whether the chips are manufactured using topdown meth...
NPTest CMOS formatter, embedded within the new timing generation IC, can provide formatted levels and internal strobe markers for eight independent pinelectronics channels at up t...
An in-circuit diagnostic test structure triggered by a light pulse captures logic states on-chip with picosecond timing accuracy, and the results read out via a scan chain thus pr...
