Abstract-- In this paper, a technique that can efficiently reduce peak and average switching activity during test application is proposed. The proposed method does not require any ...
Excessive switching activity during scan testing can cause average power dissipation and peak power during test to be much higher than during normal operation. This can cause prob...

The use of nanometer technologies is making it increasingly important to consider transient characteristics of a circuit’s power dissipation (e.g., peak power, and power gradien...
Scaling of CMOS technology causes the power supply voltages to fall and supply currents to rise at the same time as operating speeds are increasing. Falling supply voltages cause ...
