“…Methods to reduce test application time include generation of compact tests [1,2] and the use of multiple scan chains [3]. Methods to reduce tester storage requirements include methods to reduce test input data volume [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] and methods to reduce test response data volume [3,6,[12][13][14][15][16][17]. Some of these methods [6,13,14,16,17] address unknown values in the output response of the circuit.…”
