چکیده

With advance in technology and working frequency reaching gigahertz, designing and testing interconnects have become an important issue. In this paper, we proposed a BIST-based boundary scan architecture to at-speed test of crosstalk faults for inter-switch communication links in network on chip. This architecture includes enhanced cells intended for MVT model test patterns generation and analysis test responses. One new instruction is used to control cells and TPG controller in the at-speed test mode in order to fully comply with conventional IEEE 1149.1 standard. & 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

BIST for network on chip communication infrastructure based on combination of extended IEEE 1149.1 and IEEE 1500 standards

In this paper we propose a BIST based method to test network on chip (NOC) communication infrastructure. The proposed method utilizes an IEEE 1149.1 architecture based on BIST to at-speed test of crosstalk faults for inter-switch links as well as an IEEE 1500-compliant wrapper to test switches themselves in NOC communication infrastructure. The former architecture includes enhanced cells intend...
