NBTI degradation has strong dependence on input pattern and duty cycles. Based on this observation, we propose to apply multiple input vectors to the combination circuit in a non-uniform way during standby mode. Multiple input vectors can enhance the capability to control the circuit nodes, achieve smaller duty cycles to reduce the stress time of gates and thus mitigate static NBTI. A constrained multi-object optimization model is formalized to find the optimal combination of duty cycles for timing-critical paths, which in turn minimizes the increase of path delay. An ATPG-like procedure is then presented to generate the corresponding input vectors. Experimental results demonstrate that the delay increase of timing-critical paths can be mitigated significantly under long time NBTI effect (10-year) by only applying a small number of vectors.","PeriodicalId":106283,"journal":{"name":"2009 Asian Test Symposium","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115961691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When using low-cost testers which have a limited test bandwidth to perform testing, Built-In- Self-Test (BIST) is necessary to reduce the data volume to be transmitted between the tester and the device-under-test (DUT). We enhance the SOC test integration tool, STEAC, so that it can support SOCs containing BISTed cores which are to be tested by low-cost testers. A test chip is implemented to verify the proposed technique. Experimental results show that the enhanced STEAC successfully works with the HOY wireless test system and other low-cost testers.","PeriodicalId":106283,"journal":{"name":"2009 Asian Test Symposium","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122274279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the test of the memory array within the cache is usually accomplished resorting to BIST circuitry implementing March test inspired solutions, testing the cache controller logic poses some specific issues, mainly stemming from its limited accessibility. One possible solution consists in letting the processor execute suitable test programs, allowing the detection of possible faults by looking at the results they produce. In this paper we face the issue of generating suitable programs for testing the replacement logic in set-associative caches that implement a deterministic replacement policy. A test program generation approach based on modeling the replacement mechanism as a Finite State Machine (FSM) is proposed. Experimental results with a cache implementing a LRU policy are provided to assess the effectiveness of the method.","PeriodicalId":106283,"journal":{"name":"2009 Asian Test Symposium","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127803778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the limited space of the available trace buffer, selection of the critical trace signals plays an important role in both minimizing the number of signals traced and maximizing the observability/restorability of other untraced signals during post-silicon validation. This paper presents a new method for trace buffer signal selection for the purpose of post-silicon debug. The selection is performed by favoring those signals with the most number of implications that are not implied by other signals. Then, based on the values of the traced signals during silicon debug, we introduce an algorithm which uses a SAT-based multi-node implication engine to restore the values of untraced signals across multiple time-frames. Experimental results for sequential benchmark circuits showed that the proposed approach selects the trace signals effectively, giving a high restoration percentage compared with other techniques.","PeriodicalId":106283,"journal":{"name":"2009 Asian Test Symposium","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131688639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The BIST circuit contains an improved cyclic time-to-digital converter (TDC) to achieve 6-ps resolution, and a pulse amplifier (PA) in front of the cyclic TDC to equivalently enhance timing resolution to 0.6 ps. The quantity of jitter is derived by analyzing the digital output codes of the BIST circuit. The input frequency range of the signal-under-test (SUT) is from 200 MHz to 2 GHz for 0.6-ps timing resolution, and from 100 Hz to 2 GHz for 6-ps timing resolution. In addition to the wide input frequency range and fine resolution, the proposed BIST reduces testing time maximally by 95 % in comparison with the conventional BIST circuit based on component-invariant vernier delay line TDC. The presented BIST circuit occupies 0.6 X 0.336 mm2 in a 0.18-um CMOS process.","PeriodicalId":106283,"journal":{"name":"2009 Asian Test Symposium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129285327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scan chain defects constitute a significant fraction of the overall digital defect universe, and hence it is well justified that scan chain diagnosis has received increasing research attention in recent years. In this paper, we address the problem of scan chain diagnosis for intermittent faults. We show that the conventional scan chain test pattern is likely to miss an intermittent fault, or inaccurately diagnose it. We propose an improved scan chain test pattern which we show to be effective. Subsequently, we demonstrate that the conventional bound calculation algorithm is likely to produce wrong results in the case of an intermittent fault. We propose a new lowerbound calculation method which does generate correct and tight bounds, even for an intermittence probability as low as 10%.","PeriodicalId":106283,"journal":{"name":"2009 Asian Test Symposium","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116870218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the layout information is needed to generate a test for an open fault. However, it is not easy to extract accurate circuit parameters of a deep sub-micron LSI. We have already proposed an open fault model without using the accurate circuit parameters cite{yanagi09, yamazaki09, tsume08}.In this paper, we propose a new class of the pair of tests for the open fault called Ordered Pair of Tests (OPT). OPT is generated based on the fault excitation function as a threshold function of the adjacent lines. Also we propose a method for generating OPTs from the given stuck-at fault test set. The proposed method generates OPTs using only information about adjacent lines of the target open fault. Experimental results show that the proposed method can generate the OPTs for the open faults with high fault coverage.","PeriodicalId":106283,"journal":{"name":"2009 Asian Test Symposium","volume":"139 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114509365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
