    摘要: Built-in self-test techniques for integrated circuits that address the issue of unknown states. Some implementations use a specialized scan chain selector coupled to a time compactor. The presence of the specialized scan chain selector increases the efficiency in masking X states. Also disclosed are: (1) an architecture of a selector that works with multiple scan chains and time compactors, (2) a method for determining and encoding per cycle scan chain selection masks used subsequently to suppress X states, and (3) a method to handle an over-masking phenomenon.

    摘要: Disclosed are representative embodiments of methods, apparatus, and systems for test scheduling for testing a plurality of cores in a system on circuit. Test data are encoded to derive compressed test patterns that require small numbers of core input channels. Core input/output channel requirement information for each of the compressed test patterns is determined accordingly. The compressed patterns are grouped into test pattern classes. The formation of the test pattern classes is followed by allocation circuit input and output channels and test application time slots that may comprise merging complementary test pattern classes into clusters that can work with a particular test access mechanism. The test access mechanism may be designed independent of the test data.
