Test access is a major problem for core-based systemon-chip (SOC) designs. Since cores in an SOC are not directly accessible via chip inputs and outputs, special access mechanisms...
Testing embedded cores is a challenge because access to core I/Os is limited. The user-defined logic (ZJDL) surrounding the core may restrict the set of test vectors that can be a...
A wrapper is a thin shell around the core, that provides the switching between functional, and core-internal and core-external test modes. Together with a test access mechanism (T...

System-on-chip (SOC) design methodology is becoming the trend in the IC industry. Integrating reusable cores from multiple sources is essential in SOC design, and different design...
Test planning for core-based system-on-a-chip (SOC) designs is necessary to reduce testing time and test cost. In this paper, we survey recent advances in test planning that addre...

One of the difficult problems which core-based systemon-chip (SoC) designs face is test access. For testing the cores in a SoC, a special mechanism is required, since they are no...
In this paper, we propose a new method for test access and test scheduling in NoC-based system. It relies on a progressive reuse of the network resources for transporting test dat...
