Abstract

This paper presents a high-level synthesis method for testable data paths with partial scan design based on acyclic structure. For a given scheduled data flow graph, we propose a heuristic method of operational unit binding and register binding to minimize the number of scan registers for acyclic structure without sacrifice of area overhead.
