Abstract :
In this paper, we present a high level synthesis method for partial scan designs. High level testability information are used to guide the synthesis process towards designs with a minimal number of scan registers. The maximal fault coverage is achievable for these designs. This method mainly leans on ad-hoc modifications of the register allocation process
