Abstract(in English) It is required to reduce the number of test patterns to reduce test cost for VLSIs. Especially, design-for-testability methods at register transfer level are important to enhance the efficiency of dynamic test compaction. In this paper, we propose a test register assignment method for concurrent operational unit testing to reduce the number of test patterns for transition faults on at-speed scan testing, and use controller augmentation as our design-for-testability method to enable the concurrent testing. It is expected that the efficiency of dynamic test compaction becomes high since concurrent operational unit testing can be executed for circuits which controller augmentation is applied. Experimental results for high-level benchmark circuits show that the number of test patterns was reduced by 7.35% with 0.45% rea overhead on average.
