Testability strategy and DFT methodology of CalmRISC32
Hong-Sik Kim, Il-Suk Seo, Sungho Kang, Gunhee Han · 2000
This paper describes the test strategy and the DFT (Design for Testability) methodology of CalmRISC32. CalmRISC32 is a 32 bit microcontrol unit, which consists of a 32 bit IU core, an FPU and a Cache Unit. The embedded memory arrays are tested by memory BIST (Built-in Self Test) and the logic blocks are tested by functional test methodology at the instruction level. To increase the test efficiency, a new scan chain methodology using a module called a TSU (Test Scan Unit) is developed.
