Conversion of the flip-flops of the circuit into scan cells helps ease the test challenge; yet test application time is increased as serial shift operations are employed. Furthe...
We present a new test resource partitioning (TRP) technique for reduced pin-count testing of system-on-a-chip (SOC). The proposed technique is based on test data compression and o...
A novel design-for-test (DFT) technique is presented for designing a core with a “virtual scan chain” which looks (to the system integrator) like it is shorter than the real s...
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...
