Title :
Achieving at-speed structural test

Pateras, Stephen
Abstract :
In addition to structural test, BIST offers an alternative low-cost approach to at-speed testing. How should BIST be implemented to address at-speed testing? What issues remain to be solved? How can we deal with multicycle paths and different frequency domains? The author describes BIST implementation techniques to answer these questions.
