However, flattened designs have higher resource requirements and need more memory, disk space, and CPU time to run. I, which contains no fewer than 13 clocks, is a mixed latch and? Test logic or test points can be added, as I have done to increase the coverage, but there is a point of diminishing returns. Some interesting observations arise from the I benchmark.

The fault coverage percentage contains the absolute number considering all fault categories. The blockage results from two issues. To do so would entail the additional task of verifying that the Verilog and VHDL bwnchmark are logically equivalent, a worthwhile undertaking that will make the benchmarks more useful to a wider audience.

When full scan is implemented in a design, the fault coverage is relatively independent of the scan methodology.

The uncontrollable category also includes 24 untested faults consisting of these six and their equivalents: This notice of address change will apply to all IEEE publications to which you subscribe.

Numbers shown in this article are absolute; for example, the number of faults is the total number of faults before fault equivalence collapsing. Simply replacing sequential cells with their scan equivalents does not make a design testable or create a functional scan chain. When trying to insert scan into these designs, I encountered one problem these benchmarks are likely to present.

This article examines the I, I, and I99C1 circuits in some detail because they are already in structural Verilog format and gives a brief overview of and circuits.

I obtained the fault coverages benchmxrk here from running a full-scan ATPG tool on the original circuits, without any test logic such as scan insertion. By disabling this driver and constraining the other drivers to be one-hot, I eliminated most of the bus contentions.

Another simplification was to ignore bus contentions due to multiple drivers and bidirectional signals.

I, which contains no fewer than 13 clocks, is a mixed latch and? The result is therefore a partial-scan design. I experimented with bypassing this signal and making this one latch nonscan. Like I, it is a two-phase bnechmark design.

It contains tri-state buses with more than opportunities for bus contention. Future researchers can use some of the information outlined here to plan their work.

Table 6 shows the results. Second, two nets that are outputs from latches, therefore scan-out ports, also happen to be primary bidirectional pins. It would be interesting to see if other tools or researchers can itd99 ATPG without making these alterations.

After tying off the nonsensitizing inputs to these gated clocks, thereby making it a full-scan design, I achieved better coverage, as expected. The ATPG tool cuts combinational loops on both designs.

Making the latch nonscan essentially resulted in a partialscan circuit and caused a slight drop in coverage. Global percent itc999 co Baseline characteristics The baseline characteristics of these circuits appear in Table 2.

I is a latch design driven by a four-phase clock.

It is, however, far more complex as it is a full processor chip with memory caches and register? I attempted to analyze the potential bus contentions that can occur during ATPG. As an experiment, I synthesized the design to see the effect of eliminating these faults.

Finally, IS4 is full scan with an additional 20 test points to increase controllability and 20 to increase observability, similar to what was done benchmwrk I Test methods The most common scan methodologies in use today are multiplexed scan and level-sensitive scan design LSSD.

However, evolution of both design styles and tools calls for new, larger, and more complex circuits that more closely represent current technology. IS2 is the same scan design with the addition of 20 test points for enhanced controllability and 20 test points for enhanced observability.
