Abstract
An automatic functional test pattern generation method for the control path generated by the SCHOLAR system is presented in this paper. The method is based on the scan path design incorporated with the input partitioning technique. The main features of this method are: (i) a guaranteed 100% coverage of the single input and output stuck-at-faults; and (ii) a substantial reduction in hardware overhead. Another novelty is that the test pattern generation step is completely automatic without the use of a fault simulator or any commercial ATPG tools
