Abstract

A new methodology of selecting registers into scan chain is presented. It is based on the identification of testable cores.  The methodology is supposed to be used preferably for pipelined circuits consisting of a high number of stages. In the paper, the idea of testable cores is illustrated and defined. The method based on a genetic algorithm is described and verified on several typical pipelined circuits. Experimental results are discussed and summarized in the table. At the end of the paper, conclusions and future research perspectives are indicated.
