This paper describes a method for built-in generation of functional broadside tests for a circuit that is embedded in a larger design, taking functional constraints on its primary input sequences into account. The constraints are captured by functional input sequences of the design. Specifically, the peak switching activity in the circuit under the functional input sequences is used to bound the switching activity during on-chip test generation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
