  • Abstract
    At-speed test of ASICs is effective to detect delay faults, however, strobing is difficult because of process variations. In this paper two methodologies to generate at-speed test vectors are described. One is based on the comparison and merger of simulation traces obtained with different timing conditions. The other is a two-pass test approach.<>
