Abstract

Testing embedded cores in a System-on-a-chip necessitatesthe use of a Test Access Mechanism, which provides fortransportation of the test data between the chip and the coreI/Os. We outline an aliasing-free space and time compactionscheme, for both combinational and sequential cores, whichminimizes the required test bandwidth and reduces the bandwidthconsumption of the Test Access Mechanism at the coreoutput side. The experimental results show that the test bandwidthgain is achieved with no appreciable increase in testapplication time.
