Test vector ordering is recognized as a simple and non-intrusive approach to assist test power reduction. Simulation based test vector ordering approach to minimize circuit transit...
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...
Power dissipation during test is a major challenge in testing integrated circuits. Dynamic power has been the dominant part of power dissipation in CMOS circuits, however, in futu...
