IOC-LP: hybrid test data compression/ decompression scheme for low power testing
نویسنده
چکیده
The proposed scheme, called the IOC-LP (input reduction and one block compression for low power test), compresses the test data of scan based SoCs to improve the compression ratio in the ATPG process. It does so by using the modified input reduction and novel techniques, a new scan flip-flop reordering for low power test, the newly proposed one block compression, and a novel reordering algorithm. Unlike previous approaches using the cyclic scan register architecture, the proposed scheme is able to compress original test data and to decompress the compressed test data without the cyclic scan register architecture. Therefore, the proposed method leads to a better compression ratio with lower hardware overhead and lower power consumption than previous works. Experimental results on ISCAS ’89 and ITC ’99 benchmark circuits validated the proposed method.

Low Power PRPG and Decompressor using PRESTO generator
A pseudorandom test patterns are generated using low power programmable generator with desired toggling levels and enhanced fault coverage gradient. A linear feedback shift register drives a phase shifter to produce binary sequence using preselected toggling (PRESTO) activity. Several controls of the generator are selected automatically for easy and precise tuning. For shaping the test power en...

This paper presents a low power strategy for test data compression and a new decompression scheme for test vectors. In our method, we propose an efficient algorithm for scan chain reordering to deal with the power dissipation problem. Further, we also propose a test slice difference (TSD) technique to improve test data compression. It is an efficient method and only needs one extra scan cell. I...
متن کاملLow-power scan testing and test data compression forsystem-on-a-chip
Test data volume and power consumption for scan vectors are two major problems in system-on-a-chip testing. Since static compaction of scan vectors invariably leads to higher power for scan testing, the conflicting goals of low-power scan testing and reduced test data volume appear to be irreconcilable. We tackle this problem by using test data compression to reduce both test data volume and sc...
متن کاملA Novel Scalable Optical Packet Compression/decompression Scheme
A novel optical packet compression/decompression scheme is proposed allowing for high compression rates and large packet sizes thereby reducing the rate conversion latency. Extensive simulations are performed in order to investigate the feasibility of the proposed scheme. An OSNR of more than 22 dB is estimated for very large packets. Introduction Ultra-fast access to the optical medium can be ...
متن کاملA New Scan Architecture for Both Low Power Testing and Test Volume Compression Under SOC Test Environment
A new scan architecture for both low power testing and test volume compression is proposed. For low power test requirements, only a subset of scan cells is loaded with test stimulus and captured with test responses by freezing the remaining scan cells according to the distribution of unspecified bits in the test cubes. In order to optimize the proposed process, a novel graph-based heuristic is ...
