This paper presents a procedure for modifying a given set of scan vectors so that the peak power during scan testing is kept below a specified limit without reducing fault coverag...
Parallel test application helps reduce the otherwise considerable test times in SOCs; yet its applicability is limited by average and peak power considerations. The typical test v...

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...

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...
A low-transition test pattern generator, called the low-transition linear feedback shift register (LT-LFSR), is proposed to reduce the average and peak power of a circuit during te...
