Abstract(in English) In recent years, since the test cost for large-scale integrated circuits has increased, design-for-testability methods for concurrent testing to reduce the number of test patterns have been proposed. In the conventional methods, concurrent testing for the hardware element at register transfer level (RTL) is realized by designing the control signal that enables concurrent testing for RTL hardware elements on state transitions of invalid states in controllers. However, general automatic test pattern generation tools do not always consider concurrent testing, and the effect for reduction of the number of test patterns is not high compared to the estimated value at RTL. In this paper, to further reduce the number of test patterns, we propose a multiple target test generation method using test scheduling information of RTL hardware elements that considers concurrent testing. Experimental results show that the proposed method could reduce the number of test patterns by 2 to 20% compared to test generation without RTL test scheduling information.
