Testing embedded cores is a challenge because access to core I/Os is limited. The user-defined logic (ZJDL) surrounding the core may restrict the set of test vectors that can be a...
Circular built-in self-test (BIST) is a "test per clock" scheme that offers many advantages compared with conventional BIST approaches in terms of low area overhead, simp...
Traditional circuit design focuses on optimizing the static critical paths no matter how infrequently these paths are exercised dynamically. Circuit optimization is then tuned to ...
