Abstract(in English) In this paper, we propose a method of design-for-testability(DFT) which guarantees complete fault efficiency for register-transfer level data paths with irregular bit width. The proposed DFT method is an extension of the orthogonal scan method which was proposed for data paths with even bit width. The proposed method employs a combinational automatic test pattern generation(ATPG) tool. From the experimental results, the hardware overhead of the proposed method is smaller than that of full scan design which is a typical technique and allows combinational ATPG. The test application time of the proposed method is also shorter than that of full scan design. Moreover, the bit-match function proposed in this paper makes a method based on hierarchical testing for data paths with even bit width applicable to data paths with irregullar bit width.
