Advanced ITC Presentation A. PogielJ. Rajski J. Tyszer
Motivation Reliable test response compactor • volume reduction higher than scan chains / channels ratio • high observability of scan cells for wide range of X-profiles • design simplicity • minimum control information
Outline • EDT environment • Compactor architecture • Unknown states • Scan chain selection • Experimental results • Fault diagnosis • Conclusions
Compactedresponses Compressedpatterns EDT architecture • Scan • Deterministic patterns • Embedded test • Selective compaction • Direct diagnosis X-control ATE ATE

Synthesis algorithm • Generate randomly a polynomial • Verify sharing of mask bits • Determine rank • Repeat 1÷3 for several polynomials • Accept poly with the highest rank • Repeat 1÷5 for all outputs
Linear independence 32 mask bits specified bits New DAC 2001
64 128 192 256 Encoding efficiency Scan chains: mask bits
Diagnostic resolution Overdrive: 8 1000 single stuck-at faults selected randomly The smallest mask register
Conclusions • Compression higher than scan chains / channels ratio • Programmable scan selector • High observability of scan errors • Immune to high X-fill rates • Proven on industrial designs

purpose Low power scheme compatible with test compression reduced switching during all scan operations preserved test quality accelerated scan shifting
outline • EDT environment • Low power test architecture • Scan shift-in operations • Power aware decompressor • Capture and scan shift-out • Experimental results • Conclusions
motivation 100 scan chains 0.9M gates 45K scan cells Test patterns Scan chains observing faults
control data encoding 0 1 • Constants provided on a per pattern basis • Asserting all variables turn off low power test c1 + c3 + c7 = 0 c2 + c4 + c7 = 1 c3 + c5 + c6 = 0 cn cn-1 … c2 c1 c0
