Abstract

See full text

At-speed strategies for testing high speed designs on slower testers. At-speed testing schemes is provided that integrates the tester's speed limitations with the test generation process. Due to constraints placed at the test generation process, these schemes might result in a reduced fault coverage. To increase the fault coverage and reduce the test application time, the slow-fast-slow and at-speed strategies can be combined for testing high speed designs on slower testers. A slow tester that uses test vectors that are generated while taking into account the speed of the tester.
