Capacitance coupling can have a significant impact on gate delay in today's deep submicron circuits. In this paper we present a static timing analysis tool that calculates th...
We present an approach to bus access optimization and schedulability analysis for the synthesis of hard real-time distributed embedded systems. The communication model is based on...
We study the effectiveness of functional tests for full scan circuits. Functional tests are important for design validation, and they potentially have a high defect coverage indep...
We describe a method for on-chip generation of weighted test sequences for synchronous sequential circuits. For combinational circuits, three weights, 0, 0.5 and 1, are sufficien...
This paper presents a methodology to retarget the technique of compiled simulation for Digital Signal Processors DSPs using the modeling language LISA. In the past, the principl...
Delay defects on I/O pads, interconnections of a board, or interconnections among embedded cores can not be tested with the current IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan design. This paper in...
Higher levels of integration, the need for test re-use, and the mixed-signal nature of today’s SOC’s necessitate hierarchical test generation and system level test composition...
