“…In [26], a reconfigurable broadcasting technique using Internal Joint Task Action Group (IJTAG) to test identical cores is proposed. In [27], scan compression architecture with a reconfigurable scan chain group is proposed with the multiple test session. But, this architecture suffers from the area overhead and routing congestion.…”

The test data volume (TDV) increases with increased target compression in scan compression and adds to the test cost. Increased TDV is the result of a dependency across scan flip‐flops (SFFs) that resulted from compression architecture, which is absent in scan mode. The SFFs have uncompressible values logic‐0 and logic‐1 in many or most of the patterns contribute to the TDV. In the proposed new scan compression (NSC) architecture, SFFs are analysed from Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG) patterns generated in a scan mode. The identification of SFFs to be moved out of the compression architecture is carried out based on the NSC. The method includes a ranking of SFFs based on the specified values present in the test patterns. The SFFs having higher specified values are moved out of the compression architecture and placed in the outside scan chain. The NSC is the combination of scan compression and scan mode. This method decides the percentage (%) of SFFs to be moved out of compression architecture and is less than 0.5% of the total SFFs present in the design to achieve a better result. The NSC reduces dependencies across the SFFs present in the test compression architecture. It reduces the TDV and test application time. The results show a significant reduction in the TDV up to 78.14% for the same test coverage.

On Reducing Test Data Volume for Circular Scan Architecture Using Modified Shuffled Shepherd Optimization

et al. 2021

In this manuscript, a novel test data compression (TDC) system is proposes for reducing a test data volume (TDV) for circular scan (CS) architecture. A modified version of meta-heuristic population based optimization approach, hence it is called shuffled shepherd optimization (SSO) and it is used to optimize the conflicting bit minimization (CBM) problem. In CS framework, TDC is reached by upgrading only the conflicting bits among template pattern, real test pattern. Reduced test data volume and test application time are achieved by diminishing the Hamming distance between the currently captured response and the subsequent test vector. The CBM issue is formulated by a traveling salesman problem (TSP). Here, the test vectors are assumed by cities, the HD among test vectors a pair is assumed by distance of interurban. A modified version of the SSO algorithm called as MSSO is applied in combination using mutation operator for solving the issue of CBM. Experimental outcomes display the proposed TDC method using MSSO achieves an average development of 8.36% in compression ratio (CR) as well as 6.77% in TAT is attained by reducing a TDV. This proposed approach outperforms other state-of-art test data compression schemes by providing improved CR, TAT reduction and TDV reduction.
