Scan testing and scan compression have become key components for reducing test cost, and most high-compression schemes are based on linear, sequential compressors e.g., pseudo-random pattern generators (PRPG). We present a novel technique to increase PRPG-based compression by modifying test generation so that justification of certain decision nodes is delayed and merged with PRPG seed computation...
Scan testing and scan compression are key to realizing cost reduction and quality control of ever more complex designs. However, compression can be limited if the density of unknown (X) values is high. We present a method to identify a small, but important, subset of scan cells that are "likely" to capture an X, place them on separate "X-chains", create a combinational unload compressor...
Traditional scan and, more recently, scan compression are increasingly accepted for reducing test cost and improving quality in ever more complex designs. Combinational scan compression techniques are attractive for their low impact on area, timing and design flow, but are best suited for designs with a limited number of unknowns (Xs). However, recent design performance and cost tradeoffs create a...
