Layout driven synthesis of multiple scan chains.

In this paper, we investigate the problem of assigning scan cells to multiple scan chains based on physical placement. We formulate a new multichain assignment (MA) problem and discuss its complexity and relationship to partitioning and traveling salesman problems. We show that MA is not adequately...
