Integrated, heterogeneous systems are comprehensively tested to verify whether their performance specifications fall within some acceptable ranges. However, explicitly testing every manufactured instance against all of its specifications can be expensive due to the complex requirements for test setup, stimulus application, and response measurement. To reduce manufacturing test cost, we have developed...
In test compaction, the objective is to reduce cost of testing an integrated system by applying a subset of its specification-based tests. One approach for accomplishing this objective is to statistically learn a correlation function for the tests eliminated from a collection of systems that are fully tested (i.e., training data). Accuracy of this correlation function may degrade over the life span...
We propose a methodology that employs boolean minimization and optimized test covering to identify redundant tests of a mixed-signal circuit from its pass-fail (binary) test data. This methodology is applied to two in-production circuits, a high-speed serializer/deserializer (HSS) and a phase-locked loop (PLL). Application of the methodology to over 38, 000 failing HSS circuits demonstrate that only...
