Method and apparatus for pipelined scan compression

Method and apparatus for pipelined scan compression

A pipelined scan compression method and apparatus for reducing test data volume and test application time in a scan-based integrated circuit without reducing the speed of the scan chain operation in scan-test mode or self-test mode. The integrated circuit contains one or more scan chains, each scan...

description A pipelined scan compression method and apparatus for reducing test data volume and test application time in a scan-based integrated circuit without reducing the speed of the scan chain operation in scan-test mode or self-test mode. The integrated circuit contains one or more scan chains, each scan chain comprising one or more scan cells coupled in series. A decompressor is embedded between N scan chains and M scan chains, where N
