SynTest Receives "Multiple-capture DFT system for scan-based integrated circuits" Patent for At-Speed Scan/BIST Invention
The patented invention is in general referred to as "staggered skewed-load" or "staggered launch-on-shift". It is a method for providing true at-speed testing for synchronous and asynchronous multi-clock, multi-frequency domains. The method provides ordered capture clocks to detect or locate faults within multiple clock domains and faults crossing clock domains in an integrated circuit during at-speed BIST or at-speed scan-testing.
The major benefit of this patented DFT scheme is the reduction in the number of ATPG patterns compared to the traditional one-hot DFT scheme for multi-clock, multi-frequency designs. The resultant compaction of 3x-10x translates directly into test cost savings.
