  • Abstract
    An aperiodic test clock methodology to reduce test time of wafer sort has been recently proposed. In practice, however, an automatic test equipment (ATE) allows only a small number of clock periods and finding those is a mathematically complex problem. This paper proposes an algorithm for optimal selection of any given number of tester clock periods.
