Abstract :
The ever-increasing complexity of systems on a chip (SoCs) has driven scan-based logic test technologies to their limits. Built-in self-test is one possible solution to overcome the problem. However, externally controlled test procedures that allow the re-use of existing testers and adaption to changing patterns seem to gain a higher level of industrial acceptance. Then a high degree of test pattern compaction without sacrificing test coverage is essential. This paper describes a versatile pattern compaction scheme that is independent from special ATPG tools, can be optimized for either hard-to-test versus large circuits and can even accommodate bit settings in LFSR outputs
