Logic BIST is ideally suited for applications where stored patterns are prohibitive, i.e. system test Test coverage objectives are achieved by pseudorandom patterns and test points Unknown states have to be eliminated to allow signature based compaction For manufacturing test ATPG top up patterns are required to achieve the desirable test quality For very long test experiments some un-modeled defects can be detected Logic BIST summary
EDT is designed for optimized manufacturing test Based on standard scan No test point are required Handles unknown states Supports effectively variety of fault models, including path delay faults Uses tester to execute the test EDT summary
Deterministic forms of embedded test • Designed for optimized manufacturing test • Tester controls test application • Very similar flow to scan/ATPG • Based on standard scan • Supports the same fault models as ATPG • No test points necessary • No bounding of X states necessary (in EDT) • On-chip hardware facilitates the improved efficiency • Compression of volume of scan test data • Reduction of scan test time
