Abstract

this paper presents a new test-data compression technique that uses exactly four codewords and sparse storage for testing embedded cores. It provides significant reduction in test-data volume with no any complex algorithm. It aims at precomputed data of intellectual property cores in system-on-chips and does not require any structural information of cores. In addition, the decompression logic is very small and can be implemented fully independent of the precomputed test-data set. Experimental results for ISCAS'89 benchmarks illustrate the flexibility and efficiency of the proposed technique.
