Abstract

Based on the operation of a state machine, this paper elucidates a comprehensive frame for probability-based primary-input-dominated X-filling methods to minimize the total weighted switching activity (WSA) during the scan capture operation. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly reduces both average and peak WSAs.
