....will not help with peak power problems during the capture cycle (which can arise if the circuit is placed in a state that it could not be in during functional operation) A drawback of this approach is that it degrades circuit performance because it adds extra logic in the functional paths. In [Whetsel 00] an adapted scan chain architecture that segments a single scan chain to minimize switching activity during scan shifting is proposed. This approach also greatly reduces average power and can avoid peak power problems during scan shifting, but it will not avoid peak power problems during the ....

....the following design techniques. Gated scan chains: These refer to schemes that use gating techniques to clock portions of the scan chain during scan operation [15] 17] In [15] shift registers are used to gate portions of the scan chain during shifting while counters are used for gating in [16]. A decoder multiplexer based architecture for gating scan chains has also been proposed in [17] Modified test pattern generator (TPG) Test generation circuits can be tailored to yield low power vectors without significantly affecting the fault coverage and testing time [18] 19] The method ....

Some design for test (DFT) techniques reduce peak power in addition to average power. In [Whetsel 00] an adapted scan chain architecture that segments a single scan chain to minimize switching activity during scan shifting is proposed. This approach greatly reduces average power and can avoid peak power problems during scan shifting, but requires additional DFT hardware. In [Lee 00] a method ....

....skip, in order to reduce power. In [5] a scheme to partition the scan chain into different groups is presented; together with vector reordering, some scan chains are disabled during testing without damaging fault coverage. Additional control logic and memory are needed for this technique. In [7], the scan chain is also partitioned into groups and only one of them is active for shifting at a time. Test power is thus reduced to approximately 1 N, where N is the number of groups. In [1] the ordinary scan architecture is modified to LT RTPG (low transition random test pattern generator) by ....

....vectors that minimizes test power. Sankaralingam 00] describes a guided algorithm for static compaction of scan vectors to minimize switching activity. Dabholkar 98] proposes heuristic algorithms for test vector ordering and scan chain ordering that minimize average power during scan testing. Whetsel 00] describes an adapted scan chain architecture that segments a single scan chain to minimize switching activity during scan shifting. It should be noted that many methods that are targeted towards reducing test time during scan testing also reduce power dissipation because they result in less ....
