The Testability Features of the Arm1026e
نویسندگان
چکیده
The DFT and Test challenges faced, and the solutions applied, to the ARMl026EJ microprocessor core are described in this paper. New DFT techniques have been created to address the challenges of distributing a DFT core solution that will ultimately end up in many different environments. This core was instantiated into a test chip. The new DFT features were utilized successfully in the SOC.

Evaluation and Ranking of Discrete Simulation Tools
In studying through simulation, choosing an appropriate tool/language would be a difficult task because many of them are available. On the other hand, few research works focus on evaluation of simulation tools/languages and their comparison. This paper makes a couple of evaluations and ranks more than fifty simulation tools that are currently available. The first evaluation and ranking is in th...

متن کاملSystem Testability Evaluation with Sta
This paper presents a Computer Aided Testability tool named STA (System Testability Assistant), aiming at proposing a testa-bility strategy for systems as early as possible in the design process. Given a system description, STA rst compiles it in order to create system, boards, and circuits objects, and then proceeds bottom-up, from the circuit to the system, in order to evaluate the actual tes...
متن کاملSynchronizing the IEEE 1149.1 Test Access Port for Chip-Level Testability
testability standard in the industry. Although its mandatory provisions focus narrowly on boardlevel assembly verification testing, primarily via the boundary-scan register, its test access port (TAP) and many optional provisions make the standard usable for a much broader range of applications. Since its inception, numerous extensions and applications have been proposed that allow the standard...
متن کاملTestability of Software Systems
Software testing is one of the most expensive phase of the software development life cycle. Testing object oriented software is more expensive due to various features like abstraction, inheritance etc. The cost of testing can be reduced by improving the software testability. Software testability of a class is generally measured in terms of the testing effort which is equal to the number of test...
