Higher integration densities, smaller feature lengths, and other technology advances, as well as architectural evolution, have made microprocessor cores exceptionally complex. Cur...
The paper addresses the issue of microprocessor and microcontroller testing, and follows an approach based on the generation of a test program. The proposed method relies on two p...
Structural coverage criteria are often used as an indicator of the thoroughness of testing, but complete satisfaction of a criterion is seldom achieved. When a software product is...
Manufacturing test of chips made of multiple IP cores requires different techniques if ATE is used. As scan chains are commonly used as access paths to the DUT, ATE architectures ...
Two approaches have been used to balance the cost of generating e ective tests for ICs and the need to increase the ICs' quality level. The rst approach favorsusing high-leve...
