Power Constrained Test Scheduling Using Power Profile Manipulation, ISCAS 2001
Paul Rosinger, Bashir M. Al‐Hashimi, Nicola Nicolici · 2001
This paper presents a novel power profile manipulation technique which reduces the testing time of the recently proposed power constrained test scheduling algorithms. The power profile manipulation technique consists of reordering and rotating test sequences and a new power approximation model. It is shown when the proposed power profile manipulation is integrated in power conscious test scheduling, savings up to 25% in testing time are achieved using benchmark circuits synthesized in AMS 0.35um technology.
