此篇論文中,我們提供了一種新的方法,對轉態延遲障礙(transition delay fault, TDF)產生低功率的LOC(launch off capture)測試圖樣,而這些測試圖樣,都具有部分正反器在進行投值(launch)與抓值(capture)的時候,能夠保持固定值,達到低功率測試的效果。我們改善之前的複雜程序,直接修正部分正反器,使其輸出連結到正反器原有的輸入端,成為暫時電路,再使用自動測試圖樣產生(automatic test pattern generation, ATPG)軟體,即可產生部分正反器不需改變值,卻能測到TDF的測試圖樣,這些圖樣將可以降低許多測試功率。
In this thesis, we propose a method of generating low-power launch-off-capture test patterns for transition delay fault. Each pattern only needs a part of flip-flops to change value during launch cycle and capture cycle, therefore being able to reduce test power dissipation. Instead of using complex procedures for searching patterns, we directly modify only a group of scan flip-flops by connecting their outputs to their original inputs, respectively. These temporary circuits are used in an automatic test pattern generation tool to search patterns. The obtained patterns can make only a part of flip-flops change values during test for transition delay faults and reduce much test power accordingly.
