Abstract
Testing of high performance integrated circuits is becoming increasingly a challenging task owing to high clock frequencies. Often testers are not able to test such devices due to their limited high frequency capabilities. In this article we outline a DFT strategy such that high performance devices can be tested on relatively low performance testers. In addition, various implementations aspects of this technique are addressed
