  • Robust scan synthesis for protecting soft errors
    Patent number: 8418100
    Abstract: A method for performing robust scan synthesis for soft-error protection on a design for generating a robust scan design in a system is modeled selectively at a register-transfer level (RTL) or a gate level; the design includes at least a sequential element or a scan cell for mapping to a robust scan cell of a select robust scan cell type. The method comprises performing a scan replacement and a scan stitching on the design database based on a given control information file for synthesizing the robust scan cell on the design database; and generating the synthesized robust scan design at a pre-determined RTL or a pre-determined gate level.
    Type: Grant
