Modern SoCs feature a complicated design made up of many macros that are in charge of various tasks carried out by an application. The effort required for the verification and testing of a specific product grows as a result of the requirement for more raw computing power and an increase in integration density. The testability of the communication modules is required because SoCs contain several communication modules that, if they fail, could render the SoC worthless. The full scan architecture for a full-duplex UART module is the one that is being suggested. The work displays the power savings for both manually and automatically inserted scan chains that were based on the system partition algorithms. While manually placed scan chains achieved peak power reduction of 74.9 percent in comparison to automatic scan chains, the automatically inserted scan chains have less area with higher activity.

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.
