Convolutional Compaction of Test Responses
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces a finite memory compactor called convolutional compactor that provides compaction ratios of test responses in excess of 100x even for a very small number of outputs. This is combined with the capability to detect multiple errors, handling of unknown states, and the ability to diagnose failing scan cells directly from compacted responses. A convolutional compactor can be easily configured into a MISR that preserves most of these properties. Experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of compaction for several industrial circuits.

Optimal Zero-Aliasing Space Compaction of Test Responses
Many built-in self-testing (BIST) schemes compress the test responses from a k-output circuit to q signature streams, where q << k, a process termed space compaction. The effectiveness of such a compaction method can be measured by its compaction ratio c = k/q. A high compaction ratio can introduce aliasing, which occurs when a faulty test response maps to the faultfree signature. We investigat...
متن کاملSpace compaction of test responses using orthogonal transmission functions [logic testing]
Space compaction of test responses provides parallel access to functional outputs and reduces testing time and test data volume. We present a new space compaction approach that only uses information about the fault-free responses for a precomputed test set . It is, therefore, especially suitable for embedded cores. It does not make any assumption about an underlying fault model, and it does not...
متن کاملZero-aliasing space compaction of test responses using multiple parity signatures
We present a parity-based space compaction technique that eliminates aliasing for any given fault model. The test responses from a circuit under test with a large number of primary outputs are merged into a narrow signature stream using a multiple-output parity tree. The functions realized by the different outputs of the compactor are determined by a procedure that targets the desired fault mod...

Space compaction of test responses provides parallel access to functional outputs and reduces delays on functional paths between cores. We present a new space compaction approach for IP cores that only uses information about the fault-free responses for a precomputed test set T . It does not make any assumption about an underlying fault model, and it does not make use of any structural informat...
متن کاملOn the Compaction and Viscous Behavior of Deep-Water Reservoirs
There have been many studies on reservoir compaction where different mechanisms being suggested as the reasons behind the integrity of unconsolidated reservoirs during production. Theory of poroelasticity is often used to evaluate the likelihood of compaction under these circumstances, but it is often failed to explain the creep behavior of unconsolidated formations. In this study, attempts are...
