Design for Testability Reuse in Synthesis for Testability
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents our Design for Testability reuse approach implemented in the allocation for testability system IDAT. In the context of High-Level Synthesis for Testability, the allocation for testability process mainly consists in searching for the best cost/quality trade-off between the designer requirements and testability means which can be proposed by the system, considering the available components in the library and the possibility to generate additional testability structures. The cost/quality trade-off is also based on the result of the testability analysis process.

Testability Estimation of Framework Based Applications
Quality of software systems is highly demanded in today’s scenario. Highly testable system enhances the reliability also. More than 50% of test effort-time and cost are used to produce a highly testable system. Thus, design-for-testability is needed to reduce the test effort. In order to enhance the quality, productivity and reduced cost of the software organizations are promoting to produce th...

This paper details our partial scan technique used in the Interactive Design for Test reuse in Allocation for Testability (IDAT) tool. IDAT tool objective is to fullll the designer requirements regarding selected design and testability attributes of a circuit to be synthesized. A related tool is used to synthesize a test controller for the nal testable circuit. The allocation process of scan re...

Core reuse is an emerging IC design style which enables rapid development of highly complex ICs. Reusable circuit cores come in two basic varieties, hard and soft. Hard cores are optimized for area and performance and are not modifiable by the user, whereas soft cores are user modifiable. If soft cores do not contain testability (i.e. scan/BIST), it can be inserted into the core by the user. Ha...

متن کاملTestability-driven High-level Synthesis
This paper describes a new approach to integrate testability consideration into high-level synthesis. The approach is based on an iterative technique for high-level synthesis which utilizes a sequence of design-improvement transformations to generate a register-transfer level design from a VHDL behavioral specification. A testability analysis algorithm is used to analyze the intermediate result...
