Layout driven synthesis of multiple scan chains.

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...
