Abstract

This paper introduces a new hardware implementation for scan test sequencing within a tester. Insteadof providing a monolithic scan memory with linearreadback capabilities, the proposed test architecture uses dedicated scan test sequencing hardwareto provide "on-the-fly" scan test sequencing. Theapproach is aimed not only at providing a more flexible test hardware solution, but at reducing the costof structural test by significantly reducing scanmemory size requirements.
