Abstract:This paper describes a new approach to static test compaction for scan circuits that modifies tests in order to reduce the number of tests in a test set. The main contribution of this paper is a procedure referred to as restoration. In a basic step, the restoration procedure considers two tests, t rem and t mod , with sets of detected faults D rem and D mod , respectively. Starting from t new = t mod , and considering t new as a variation of t rem , the procedure restores bits of t rem into t new as necessary … Show more
