design and test engineers. The most important challenges of today’s VLSI
systems testing are linked to test cost, defect coverage and power dissipation.
Implementing a self-testable system may reduce test costs as expensive external
high performance test equipment is not required and it may increase defect
coverage as testing is performed at system speed. Unfortunately, the classic
BIST approaches lead to a significant increase of power consumption compared to
the system mode and even compared to external testing. The paper will review
required changes to be applied to classic BIST techniques for power reduction.
A recently developed new BIST approach called functional BIST is introduced and
its consequences for power dissipation are discussed.}, url = {http://www2.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/cgi-bin/NCSTRL/NCSTRL_view.pl?id=INPROC-2002-47&engl=0} }

which implement scan test at core level. The scan chains of one core of the
system-on-a-chip are reused to decompress the patterns for another core. To
implement the RESPIN++ test architecture only a few gates need to be added to
the test wrapper. This will not affect the critical paths of the system. The
RESPIN++ method reduces both test data volume and test application time up to
one order of magnitude per core compared to storing compacted test patterns on
the ATE. If several cores may be tested concurrently, test data volume and test
application time for the complete system test may be reduced even further. This
paper presents the RESPIN++ test architecture and a compression algorithm for
the architecture.}, url = {http://www2.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/cgi-bin/NCSTRL/NCSTRL_view.pl?id=INPROC-2002-45&engl=0} }

BIST with test point insertion. Test points are inserted to obtain a first
testability improvement, and next a deterministic pattern generator is added to
increase the fault efficiency up to 100\%. The silicon cell area for the
combined approach is smaller than for approaches that apply a deterministic
pattern generator or test points only. The combined approach also removes the
classical limitations and drawbacks of test point insertion, such as failing to
achieve complete fault coverage and a complicated design flow. The benefits of
the combined approach are demonstrated in experimental results on a large

To reduce the storage requirements for the deterministic patterns it relies on
a two-dimensional compression scheme, which combines the advantages of known
vertical and hoizontal compression techniques. To reduce both the number of
patterns to be stored and the number of bits to be stored for each pattern,
deterministic test cubes are encoded as seeds of an LFSR (horizontal
compression), and the seeds are again compressed into seeds of a folding
counter sequence (vertical compression). The proposed BIST architecture is
fully compatible with standard scan esign, simple and flexible, so that sharing
between several logic cores is p0ossible. Experimental results show that the
proposed scheme requires less test data storage than previously publiched
approaches providing the same flexibility and scan compatibility.}, url = {http://www2.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/cgi-bin/NCSTRL/NCSTRL_view.pl?id=ART-2002-11&engl=0} }

testing of embedded DRAMs. It is based on a new technique for output data
compression which offers the same benefits as signature analysis during offline
test, but also supports efficient online consistency checking. The initial
fault-free memory contents are compressed to a reference characteristic and
compared to test characteristics periodically. The reference characteristic
depends on the memory contents, but unlike similar characteristics based on
signature analysis, it can be easily updated concurrently with WRITE
operations. This way, changes in memory do not require a time consuming
recomputation. The respective test characteristics can be efficiently computed
during the periodic refresh operations of the dynamic RAM. Experiments show
that the proposed technique significantly reduces the time between the
occurrence of an error and its detection (error detection latency). Compared to
error detecting codes (EDC) it also achieves a significantly higher error
coverage at lower hardware costs. Therefore, it perfectly complements standard
online checking approaches relying on EDC, where the concurrent detection of
certain types of errors is guaranteed, but only during READ operations
accessing the erroneous data.}, url = {http://www2.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/cgi-bin/NCSTRL/NCSTRL_view.pl?id=ART-2002-10&engl=0} }
