Abstract

High-Level Test Synthesis (HLTS), a term introduced in recent years, promises automatic enhancement of testability of a circuit. In this paper we will show how HLTS can achieve higher testability for BIST-oriented test methodologies. Our results show considering testability during high-level synthesis, better testability can be obtained when compared to DFT at low level. Transformation for testability, which allows behavioral modification for testability, is a very powerful HLTS technique.
