— We introduce a remote activation scheme that aims to protect integrated circuits (IC) intellectual property (IP) against piracy. Remote activation enables designers to lock eac...
This paper presents a hybrid compaction scheme for test responses containing unknown values, which consists of a space compactor and an unknown-blocking Multiple Input Signature R...
—During the power mode transition, a large surge current may lead to the malfunctions in a power-gating design. In this paper, we introduce several important properties of the s...
— We present a new linear time technique to compute criticality information in a timing graph by dividing it into “zones”. Errors in using tightness probabilities for critica...
