In this paper, we propose a low-power testing methodology for the scan-based BIST. A smoother is included in the test pattern generator (TPG) to reduce average power consumption d...
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 ...
This paper presents a test architecture that addresses multiple problems faced in digital IC testing. These problems are test data volume, test application time, test power consum...
