In some embodiments, In some embodiments, a chip includes first and second scan chain segments each including registers and multiplexers to provide to the registers scan input signals during scan input periods and captured output signals during a capture periods. The chip also includes circuitry to provide first and second test clock signals to the registers of the first and second scan chain segments, respectively, wherein the second test clock signal is provided by a different signal path in the circuitry during the scan input periods than during the capture periods, and during the scan input periods the second test clock signal is skewed with respect to the first test clock signal. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
A logic device includes a data input, a scan test input, a clock demultiplexer, and a master latch. The clock demultiplexer is responsive to a clock input to selectively provide a first clock output and a second clock output. The master latch is coupled to the data input and to the scan test input and includes an output. The master latch is responsive to the first clock output of the clock demultiplexer and the second clock output of the clock demultiplexer to selectively couple the data input or the scan test input to the output.
摘要:
In scan test circuit design, a plurality of flipflop circuits (102a, 102b or 102c) driven with each of final-stage elements 101f of a clock tree T are connected in series, to form a sub-scan chain. Also, sub-scan chains smallest in the relative difference in the number of stages of delay elements existing from the clock supply point S of the clock tree T (i.e., sub-scan chains different by one stage) are connected to each other. Further, sub-scan chains are connected so that data shift be made from a flipflop circuit larger in clock delay to a flipflop circuit smaller in clock delay. This reduces the number of delay elements inserted in data lines of a shift register for hold time guarantee in shift operation of the scan shift register, and suppresses power consumption.

An integrated circuit device comprises: a first power domain (100) including a processor (2) and non-volatile memory (10) connected to the processor; and a second power domain (200) including an access port (12) connected to the non-volatile memory. The access port is further connected to an electrical interface (4) suitable for connection to a debugger.
摘要:
Specific logic gates for q-gating are selected by determining the minimum leakage state for a circuit design and then selecting logic gates that hold the circuit design in its lowest leakage state. Depending on the input desired to implement the minimum leakage state, the gate may be selected as a NOR or OR gate. Q-gating that is implemented with gates chosen to implement the minimum leakage state may be enabled during selected operating modes. The minimum leakage state of a circuit can be determined with an automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) tool.
