Abstract:Modern integrated circuits (ICs) include thousands of on-chip instruments to ensure that specifications are met and maintained. Scalable and flexible access to these instruments is offered by reconfigurable scan networks (RSNs), e.g., IEEE Std. 1687. As RSNs themselves can become faulty, there is a need to exclude and bypass faulty parts so that remaining instruments can be used. To avoid keeping track and updating description languages for each individual IC, we propose an on-chip hardware block that makes ad… 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.
