Abstract:

Test power consumption is becoming a major concern in low power integrated circuits (ICs). This paper presents a revised low power compression architecture for scan test. In this paper, the variance in power consumption is used to select test pattern during scan test, and a low power feedback MUX is added to the scan chains. Simulation results by mathematical methods show that the proposed test architecture is promising in reduction of power consumption.
