Abstract :
This paper describes the design and implementation of test functions on an ASIC integrating a digital-signal processor core. This chip performs voice coding functions for military and professional mobile communication systems. The principal topics of this paper are: general presentation of the chip architecture, test methodology, test architecture, special test modes, built-in self-test scheme, IEEE 1149.1 implementation, and test design methodology. The proposed test strategy is relevant for processor core based submicron ICs
