Nine-coded compression technique for testing embedded cores in SoCs.

Nine-coded compression technique for testing embedded cores in SoCs.

This paper presents a new test-data compression technique that uses exactly nine codewords. Our technique aims at precomputed data of intellectual property cores in system-on-chips and does not require any structural information of cores. The technique is flexible in utilizing both fixed- and variab...
