This paper presents a scalable method to generate close to minimal size test pattern sets for stuck-at faults in scan based circuits. The method creates sets of potentially compatible faults based on necessary assignments. It guides the justification and propagation decisions to create patterns that will accommodate most targeted faults. The technique presented achieves close to minimal test pattern...
As digital circuits grow in gate count so does the data volume required for manufacturing test. To address this problem several test compression techniques have been developed. This paper presents a novel and scalable technique for inserting observation points to aid compression by reducing pattern count and data volume. Experimental results presented for industrial circuits demonstrate the effectiveness...
In this paper we investigate methods to detect delay faults in circuits that use standard scan design. We demonstrate that delay faults at several sites in a circuit cannot be detected using standard launch off capture and launch off shift tests that use two test cycles. However, faults at these sites are detectable using tests that use more than two test cycles. Experimental results on benchmark...
We describe a novel method to partition flip-flops in scan chains into disjoint groups of flip-flops that are to be driven by independent scan enable signals to achieve higher delay fault coverage. The proposed method to partition flip-flops is motivated by our recent work which demonstrated that driving subsets of flip-flops by independent scan enable signals to launch signal transitions will lead...
