In this paper, we introduce a new representation method for datapath tests-called test template representation-and also introduce a new analysis technique to minimize the test logic overhead, through careful processing of the test templates. The resultant test structures represent the next systematic step beyond the multiplexer bypass method commonly found in commercial test tools.

Index Terms:

design for testability, test hardware optimisation, at-speed testing, datapaths, integrated circuit, representation method, test template representation, analysis technique, test logic overhead minimisation
