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 ...
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...
In this paper, an efficient technique for test data volume reduction based on the shared scan-in (Illinois Scan) architecture and the scan chain reconfiguration (Dynamic Scan) arc...

Intermittent scan chain hold-time fault is discussed in this paper and a method to diagnose the faulty site in a scan chain is proposed as well. Unlike the previous scan chain dia...

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...
— With advanced VLSI manufacturing technology in deep submicron (DSM) regime, we can integrate entire electronic systems on a single chip (SoC). Due to the complexity in SoC desi...
A methodology is presented for improving the amount of compression achieved by continuous-flow decompressors by using multiple ratios of scan chains to tester channels (i.e., expa...
This paper presents a new blocking logic to block unknowns for temporal compactors. The proposed blocking logic can reduce data volume required to control the blocking logic and a...
Scan is a widely used design-for-testability technique to improve test and diagnosis quality, however, scan chain failures account for almost 50% of chip failures. In this paper, ...
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 ...
