    摘要: In evaluating of the quality of test sequences for delay faults, when all the delay faults are equally regarded, the process of detecting the delay faults deserving to be detected and those not so deserving to be detected cannot be reflected on the quality evaluation for the test sequences. To solve the problem, a “design delay value” on a signal path, on which a corresponding delay fault is defined, is weighted. This invention thus provides “methods of evaluating the quality of test sequences for delay faults” capable of evaluating the quality of the “delay fault test sequences” with more accuracy.

    摘要: All untestable delay faults are hardly calculated. Thus, when the fault coverage of an test sequence for a delay fault is calculated, the fault coverage is not calculated without excluding the number of untestable faults. Accordingly the fault coverage does not correctly represent a test quality. The delay faults are partly selected to analyze how many untestable delay faults exist among the selected delay faults. Thus, the, number of untestable delay faults included all the delay faults are estimated. Thus, a method for evaluating a delay fault test quality for calculating the fault coverage that correctly represents the test quality by using this value is provided.

    摘要: In response to a design request, fault detection strategy optimizing means selects RT-VCs and a fault detection method from a VCDB. The design request includes: requirements for a system LSI (e.g., area, number of pins, test time and information about the weights of prioritized constraints); and VC information. The fault detection strategy optimizing means performs computations for optimization in view of various parameters, thereby specifying a best fault detection strategy and a method of constructing a single-chip fault detection controller. On the VCDB, multiple VCs associated with the same function and mutually different test techniques are stored. By weighting the parameters affecting a test cost in accordance with a user defined priority order, a test technique of the type minimizing the total test cost can be selected from the VCDB.

    摘要: In an apparatus for generating a test pattern for a sequential logic circuit including a plurality of storage elements each storage element storing a logical value of one bit wherein logical values of bits of the plurality of storage elements being represented by a state, first external input values are generated so that a transition process is performed from a second state of the plurality of storage elements to a first state thereof, and second external input values are generated so hat a transition process is performed from a third state of the plurality of storage elements to the first state thereof. Thereafter, third external input values are generated so that a transition process is performed from a fourth state of the plurality of storage elements to the first state thereof. After setting the fourth state as the first state, name data of storage elements corresponding to bits of different states between the second and third states are stored in a storage unit. After setting the third state as the first state, there is increased a degree of requesting a scan operation for each of the storage elements, name data of which have been stored in the storage unit. Then, storage elements to be scanned are selected for generating an improved test pattern based on the degree of requesting the scan operation.

    摘要: In a semiconductor integrated circuit, power source wiring for supplying power supply voltage to a plurality of flip flop circuits, and power source wiring for supplying different power supply voltage to a combinational circuit are provided individually, so that the power supply to the flip flop circuits and the power supply to the combinational circuit can be performed separately from, and independently of, each other. During shift operation in scan testing, the power supply voltage to the combinational circuit is set to a low voltage or cut off, thereby suppressing the amount of power consumed by the combinational circuit portion during the shift operation. At the same time, the power supply voltage to the flip flop circuits is set to a high voltage during the shift operation.
