Abstract :
This paper describes a novel design-for-test (DFT) concept for I/O delay testing while contacting very few pads, using boundary scan and new test-generation software. In production testing of the IBM System/390 Generation 3TM and several ASIC chips, these patterns uncovered unique manufacturing defects
