We propose in this paper an extension on the Scan Chain Concealment technique to further reduce test time and volume requirement. The proposed methodology stems from the architecture of the existing SCC scheme, while it attempts to overlap consecutive test vector seeds, thus providing increased flexibility in exploiting effectively the large volume of don't-care bits in test vectors. We also introduce modified ATPG algorithms upon the previous SCC scheme and explore various implementation strategies. Experimental data exhibit significant reductions on test time and volume over all current test compression techniques.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
