Test pattern generation and clock disabling for simultaneous test time and power reduction.

Test pattern generation and clock disabling for simultaneous test time and power reduction.

Scan-based design has been widely used to transport test patterns in a system-on-a-chip (SOC) test architecture. Two problems that are becoming quite critical for scan-based testing are long test application time and high test power consumption. Previously, many efficient methods have been developed...
