Delay Fault Testing of Core-Based Systems-on-a-Chi
نویسندگان
چکیده
Existing approaches for modular manufacturing testing of core-based systems-on-a-chip (SOCs) do not provide any explicit mechanism for high quality two-pattern tests required for performance validation through delay fault testing. This paper proposes a new approach for broadside delay fault testing of core-based SOCs, by adapting the existing solutions for automatic test pattern generation and design for test support, test access mechanism division and test scheduling.

Enhanced P1500 Compliant Wrapper suitable for Delay Fault Testing of Embedded Cores
Continual advances in the manufacturing processes of integrated circuits provide designers the ability to create more complex and denser architectures and increased functionality on a single chip. The increased usage of embedded cores necessitates a core-based test strategy in which cores are also tested separately. The IEEE P1500 proposed standard for Embedded Core Test (SECT) is a standard un...

متن کاملSystem Level Testability Issues of Core Based System-on-a-Chip
Testability issues of a core based system-on-a-chip (SOC) are identified and the various solutions available at the different stages of SOC evolution are discussed. It was found that a strategy at core level and system level is needed to achieve first time success of the core based SOC. The issues considered include area, power and delay overheads, Fault coverage, At speed test, Core transparen...
متن کاملDelay Fault Testing of Processor Cores in Functional Mode
This paper proposes an efficient methodology of delay fault testing of processor cores using their instruction sets. These test vectors can be applied in the functional mode of operation, hence, self-testing of processor core becomes possible for path delay fault testing. The proposed approach uses a graph theoretic model (represented as an Instruction Execution Graph) of the datapath and a fin...
متن کاملSoftware-Based Weighted Random Testing for IP Cores in Bus-Based Programmable SoCs
We present a software-based weighted random pattern scheme for testing delay faults in IP cores of programmable SoCs. We describe a method for determining static and transition probabilities (profiles) at the inputs of circuits with full-scan using testability metrics based on the targeted fault model. We use a genetic algorithm (GA) based search procedure to determine optimal profiles. We use ...
