Abstract
The increasingtest data volume required to ensure high test quality when testinga System-on-Chip is becoming a problem since it (the test datavolume) must fit the ATE (Automatic Test Equipment) memory. In thispaper, we (1) define a test quality metric based on fault coverage,defect probability and number of applied test vectors, and (2) atest data truncation scheme. The truncation scheme combines (1)test data (vector) selection for each core based on our metric, and(2) scheduling of the execution of the selected test data, in sucha way that the system test quality is maximized, while the selectedtest data is guaranteed to fit the ATEs memory. We have implementedthe technique and the experimental results, produced at reasonableCPU times, on... (More)
