A wrapper is a thin shell around the core, that provides the switching between functional, and core-internal and core-external test modes. Together with a test access mechanism (T...

In modular testing of system-on-a-chip (SoC), test access mechanisms (TAMs) are used to transport test data between the input/output pins of the SoC and the cores under test. Prio...
—Periodic on-chip scan-based tests have to be applied to a many-core processor SoC to improve its dependability. An infrastructural IP module has been designed and incorporated i...
Many SOCs today contain both digital and analog embedded cores. Even though the test cost for such mixed-signal SOCs is significantly higher than that for digital SOCs, most prio...
The manufacturing test cost for mixed-signal SOCs is widely recognized to be much higher than that for digital SOCs. It has been shown in recent prior work that the use of analog ...
