An effective technique to save power during scan based test is to switch off unused scan chains. The results obtained with this method strongly depend on the mapping of scan flip-...

The number and magnitude of process variation sources are increasing as we scale further into the nano regime. Today's most successful response surface methods limit us to lo...
Modern combinational equivalence checking (CEC) engines are complicated programs which are difficult to verify. In this paper we show how a modern CEC engine can be modified to pr...
