    摘要: Aspects of the invention provide for reducing power consumption during manufacturing testing of an IC. In one embodiment, aspects of the invention include a method for reducing power consumption during a manufacturing test of an integrated circuit (IC), the method including: providing a plurality of domains, each domain associated with a clock phase; grouping, based on each domain, a first plurality of scan chains into a first test group; grouping, based on each domain, a second plurality of scan chains into a second test group, wherein the grouping of the first test group and of the second test group includes determining which domains can be tested simultaneously; and performing the manufacturing test of the IC.

    摘要: A method and system for testing a synthesized design of a semiconductor chip. The method includes inputting a macro test Input/Output (I/O) name of the semiconductor chip, along with associated attributes and a netlist, where the netlist is a synthesized design of the semiconductor chip. The method includes tracking the macro test I/O to a chip test I/O. The method further includes detecting mismatches between attributes associated with the macro test I/O and the chip test I/O. Subsequently, reporting any mismatches between the attributes associated with the macro test I/O and the chip test I/O.
