Abstract

A methodology for the determination of decompressionhardware that guarantees complete fault coverage for a unifiedcompaction/compression scheme is proposed. Test cubeinformation is utilized for the determination of a near optimaldecompression hardware. The proposed scheme attainssimultaneously high compression levels and reducedpattern counts through a linear decompression hardware.Significant test volume and test application time reductionsare delivered through the scheme we propose while a highlycost effective hardware implementation is retained.
