International Classification:
G06F017/50
US Classification:
716 6, 716 4, 716 7, 716 12
Abstract:
A testbench for an integrated circuit (IC) design including a chain of scan circuits having a memory characteristic is verified by: (a) dividing the chain of scan circuits and creating a plurality of partitions, each partition including at least one logic cone output, each scan circuit belonging to one of the partition as a logic cone output; (b) generating a partitioned netlist for each partition from a full netlist for the IC design, the partitioned netlist including at least one logic cone, the logic cone extending from the logic cone output to at least one logic cone input; (c) generating a partitioned testbench for each partition from the full testbench based on the partitioned netlists; and (d) performing verification for the testbench by simulating the partitioned testbenches on the corresponding partitioned netlists.

US Patent:
8645778, Feb 4, 2014
Filed:
Dec 31, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/341998
Inventors:
Ramesh C. Tekumalla - Breinigsville PA, US
Prakash Krishnamoorthy - Bethlehem PA, US
Assignee:
LSI Corporation - San Jose CA
International Classification:
G01R 31/28
US Classification:
714726
Abstract:
An integrated circuit comprises scan test circuitry and additional circuitry subject to testing utilizing the scan test circuitry. The scan test circuitry comprises at least one scan chain having scan cells. The scan test circuitry further comprises scan delay defect bypass circuitry comprising multiplexers arranged within the scan chain. At least a given one of the multiplexers is configured to allow a corresponding one of the scan cells to be selectively bypassed in a scan shift configuration of the scan cells responsive to a delay defect associated with that scan cell. A delay defect bypass controller may be used to generate a bypass control signal for controlling the multiplexer between at least a first state in which the corresponding scan cell is not bypassed and a second state in which the corresponding scan cell is bypassed.

20030229488, Dec 11, 2003
Filed:
Jun 10, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/166904
Inventors:
Ramesh Tekumalla - Malden MA, US

Assignee:
Sun Microsystems, Inc. - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
G06F017/28
G06F017/50
US Classification:
704/004000
Abstract:
An apparatus and method are provided for identifying functionally sensitized data paths in a logic circuit and storing the identified data paths in a representation of the logic circuit. The representation of the logic circuit includes a single occurrence of each identified data path along with a variable for each single name or path segment identified.
