Broadside Transition Test Generation for Partial Scan Circuits through Stuck-at Test Generation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a method of broadside transition test generation for partial scan circuits. The proposed method first transforms the kernel circuit of a given partial scan circuit into some combinational circuits. Then, by performing stuck-at test generation on the transformed circuits, broadside transition tests for the original circuit are obtained. This method allows us to use existing stuck-at test generation tools in order to generate broadside transition tests. It is shown that the proposed scheme is effective in area overhead and test generation time by experiments. In this paper, some variations of broadside transition testing of partial scan circuits are also discussed in terms of different test application strategies and fault sizes.

Efficient Hardware Utilization for Functional Broadside Test to Achieve High Fault Coverage
Functional broadside tests are two-pattern scan-based tests that avoid over testing by ensuring that a circuit traverses only reachable states during the functional clock cycles of a test. On-chip test generation has the added advantage that it reduces test data volume and facilitates at-speed test application. This paper shows that on-chip generation of functional broadside tests can be done u...

As the complexity of VLSI circuits is increasing at the rate predicted by Moore's law and the switching frequencies are approaching a gigahertz, testing cost is becoming an important factor in the overall IC manufacturing cost. Testing cost is incurred by test pattern generation and test application processes. In this dissertation, we address both of these factors contributing to the testing co...
