An efficient test relaxation technique for combinational & full-scan sequential circuits

Reducing test data size is one of the major challenges in testing systems-on-a-chip. This problem can be solved by test compaction and/or compression techniques. Having a partially specified or relaxed test set increases the effectiveness of test compaction and compression techniques. In this paper...

description Reducing test data size is one of the major challenges in testing systems-on-a-chip. This problem can be solved by test compaction and/or compression techniques. Having a partially specified or relaxed test set increases the effectiveness of test compaction and compression techniques. In this paper we propose a novel and efficient test relaxation technique for combinational and full-scan sequential circuits. The proposed technique is faster than the brute-force test relaxation method by several orders of magnitude. The application of the technique in improving the effectiveness of test compaction and compression is illustrated.
