摘要： A pipelined scan compression method and apparatus for reducing test data volume and test application time in a scan-based integrated circuit without reducing the speed of the scan chain operation in scan-test mode or self-test mode. The scan-based integrated circuit contains one or more scan chains, each scan chain comprising one or more scan cells coupled in series. The method and apparatus includes a decompressor comprising one or more shift registers, a combinational logic network, and an optional scan connector. The decompressor decompresses a compressed scan pattern on its compressed scan inputs and drives the generated decompressed scan pattern at the output of the decompressor to the scan data inputs of the scan-based integrated circuit. Any input constraints imposed by said combinational logic network are incorporated into an automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) program for generating the compressed scan pattern for one or more selected faults in one-step.

摘要： A broadcaster, system, and method for reducing test data volume and test application time in an ATE (automatic test equipment) in a scan-based integrated circuit. The scan-based integrated circuit contains multiple scan chains, each scan chain comprising multiple scan cells coupled in series. The broadcaster is a combinational logic network coupled to an optional virtual scan controller and an optional scan connector. The virtual scan controller controls the operation of the broadcaster. The system transmits virtual scan patterns stored in the ATE and generates broadcast scan patterns through the broadcaster for testing manufacturing faults in the scan-based integrated circuit. The number of scan chains that can be supported by the ATE is significantly increased. Methods are further proposed to reorder scan cells in selected scan chains, to generate the broadcast scan patterns and virtual scan patterns, and to synthesize the broadcaster and a compactor in the scan-based integrated circuit. The scan architecture used can also be random access scan based, where the integrated circuit comprises an array of random access scan (RAS) cells that are randomly and uniquely addressable. In random access scan, test patterns can be applied by selectively updating RAS cells and test responses can be observed through a direct read-out process. Eliminating the shifting process inherent in serial scan, random access scan produces much lower test power dissipation than serial scan.

摘要： A method and apparatus for compacting test responses containing unknown values in a scan-based integrated circuit. The proposed X-driven compactor comprises a chain-switching matrix block and a space compaction logic block. The chain-switching matrix block switches the internal scan chain outputs before feeding them to the space compaction logic block for compaction so as to minimize X-induced masking and error masking. The X-driven compactor further selectively includes a finite-memory compaction logic block to further compact the outputs of the space compaction logic block.

摘要： A method for performing ATPG (automatic test pattern generation) and fault simulation in a scan-based integrated circuit, based on a selected clock order in a selected capture operation, in a selected scan-test mode or a selected self-test mode. The method comprises compiling 704 the RTL (register-transfer level) or Gate-Level HDL (hardware description language) code 701 based on the Input Constraints 702 and a Foundry Library 703, into a Sequential Circuit Model 705. The Sequential Circuit Model 705 is then transformed 706 into an equivalent Combinational Circuit Model 707 for performing Forward and/or Backward Clock Analysis 708 to determine the driving and observing clocks for all inputs and outputs of all combinational logic gates in the Combinational Circuit Model 707. The analysis results are used for Uncontrollable/Unobservable Labeling 709 of selected inputs and outputs of the combinational logic gates. Finally, ATPG and/or Fault Simulation 710 are performed according to the Uncontrollable/Unobservable Labeling 709 to generate the HDL Test Benches and ATE Test Programs 711.
