摘要:
A method for implementing improved observability of random resistant logic included in an integrated circuit (IC) design includes configuring a multiplexer device to pass, to a preexisting storage latch within the design, one of: a signal from one or more observation points within the random resistant logic and an output of first preexisting combinational logic; and selecting a preexisting net within the IC design to generate a randomized logic signal that, in a test mode, is passed to the multiplexer device to serve as a control signal thereto; wherein, in the test mode, the existing storage latch captures data randomly selected from either the existing combinational logic and the one or more observation points and in a normal mode, the existing storage latch captures data from only the existing combinational logic, facilitating random testing of the random resistant logic in a manner that avoids adding latches to the design.
