Abstract

This paper analyzes faulty scan chain behaviors. In addition, to stuck-at faults, we also consider timing faults due to hold time violations. Test sequences to determine the fault types in a failing scan chain are presented. This is followed by a presentation of two scan design techniques that simplifies scan chain fault diagnosis for both stuck-at and timing faults.
