Abstract

Massive power consumption during VLSI testing is a serious threat to reliability concerns of ubiquitous silicon industry. A significant amount of low-power methodologies are proposed in the relevant literature to address this issue of test mode power consumption and don’t care bit(X) filling approaches are one of them in this fraternity. These don’t care(X) bit filling techniques have drawn the significant attention of industry and academia for its higher compatibility with existing design flow as neither modification of the CUT is required nor they need to rerun the time-consuming ATPG process. This paper presents an empirical survey of those X-bit filling techniques, applied to mitigate prime two types of dynamic power dissipation namely shift power and capture power, occurred during full scan testing.
