Test Data Compression Using Selective Encoding of Scan Slices
We present a selective encoding method that reduces test data volume and test application time for scan testing of Intellectual Property (IP) cores. This method encodes the slices ...

Virtual Scan Chains: A Means for Reducing Scan Length in Cores
A novel design-for-test (DFT) technique is presented for designing a core with a “virtual scan chain” which looks (to the system integrator) like it is shorter than the real s...

RTL Scan Design for Skewed-Load At-speed Test under Power Constraints
This paper discusses an automated method to build scan chains at the register-transfer level (RTL) for powerconstrained at-speed testing. By analyzing a circuit at the RTL, where ...
