Test data volume and scan power are two major concerns in SoC test. In this paper we present an alternative run-length coding method through scan chain reconfiguration to reduce b...
Many test data compression schemes are based on LFSR reseeding. A drawback of these schemes is that the unspecified bits are filled with random values resulting in a large number ...
Ultra low-power devices are being developed for embedded applications in bio-medical electronics, wireless sensor networks, environment monitoring and protection, etc. The testing...
We propose a new approach to test generation and test compaction for scan circuits that eliminates the distinction between scan operations and application of primary input vectors...
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...
