Test Set Development for Cache Memory in Modern Microprocessors
Up to 53% of the time spent on testing current Intel microprocessors is needed to test on-chip caches, due to the high complexity of memory tests and to the large amount of transis...

Designs for Reducing Test Time of Distributed Small Embedded SRAMs
This paper proposes a test architecture aimed at reducing test time of distributed small embedded SRAMs (eSRAMs). This architecture improves the one proposed in [4, 5]. The improv...

Test session oriented built-in self-testable data path synthesis
Existing high-level BIST synthesis methods focus on one objective, minimizing either area overhead or test time. Hence, those methods do not render exploration of large design spa...

Analysis and Minimization of Test Time in a Combined BIST and External Test Approach
In this paper, an analysis of test time by CBET (which is an acronym for Combination of BIST and External Test) test approach is presented. The analysis validates that CBET test a...

Power-aware NoC Reuse on the Testing of Core-based Systems
This work discusses the impact of power consumption on the test time of core-based systems, when an available on-chip network is reused as test access mechanism. A previously prop...
