Title
A deterministic BIST scheme based on EDT-compressed test patterns
Abstract
The paper presents a novel deterministic built-in self-test (BIST) scheme. The proposed solution seamlessly integrates with on-chip EDT-based decompression logic and takes advantage of two key observations: (1) specified positions of ATPG-produced test cubes are typically clustered within a single or a few scan chains for a small number of successive scan shift cycles, (2) only a small fraction of the specified positions are necessary to detect a fault, and most of the remaining ones have several alternatives that can be obtained by inverting preselected scan slices (all scan cells within a given cycle). The proposed approach elevates compression ratios to values typically unachievable through conventional reseeding-based solutions. Experimental results obtained for large industrial designs illustrate feasibility of the proposed logic BIST scheme and are reported herein.
