Abstract(in English) | Recently, it is very important to reduce the number of test patterns by using design-for-testability (DFT) with the increase in test costs for very large scale integrated circuits (VLSI). Especially DFT methods to reduce the number of test patterns at register transfer level (RTL) are required for the adaptability of traditional VLSI design flows and the reduction of time to search DFT locations. In this paper, we propose a DFT method at RTL to enable hardware elements to be concurrently tested with as small number of test patterns as possible in scan testing. The proposed method enhances the effectiveness of test compaction by enable efficient concurrent testing for hardware elements based on controller augmentation. Experimental results on high-level benchmark circuits show that our proposed method reduced the number of test patterns by 33.47% with 7.12 % area overhead on average. |
