  • Abstract
    Boundary scan has been used extensively by IBM in custom logic, standard cell, and gate array logic chips. Actual implementations of boundary-scan methods used in testing these chips are discussed. The benefits of this approach are reviewed, and an economic analysis of the cost savings attributable to boundary scan are presented.<>
