Cost/Quality Trade-o in Synthesis for Scan

This paper details our partial scan technique used in the Interactive Design for Test reuse in Allocation for Testability (IDAT) tool. IDAT tool objective is to fullll the designer requirements regarding selected design and testability attributes of a circuit to be synthesized. A related tool is used to synthesize a test controller for the nal testable circuit. The allocation process of scan re...
