Abstract:Scan based design is a very popular approach to sequential circuit testing. Full scan designs often involve significant hardware and performance overheads. Partial scan design, with it's low overhead, offers an alternative to the f i l l scan design. The main problem in partial scan design is minimizing the magnitude of the set of flip-flops to be included in the scan chain. In the past, many solutions to this problem have been proposed. In this paper, we propose a fault coverage driven solution to this proble… Show more
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.
