We propose a low-overhead scan design methodology which employs a new test point insertion technique to establish scan paths through the functional logic. The technique re-uses th...
—Conventional scan design imposes considerable area and delay overheads. To establish a scan chain in the test mode, multiplexers at the inputs of flip-flops and scan wires are...
Functional scan chains are scan chains that have scan paths through a circuit's functional logic and flip-flops. Establishing functional scan paths by test point insertion (T...
