  • Publication number: 20080133990
    Abstract: Disclosed is a scan test data compression method and decoding apparatus for multiple-scan-chain designs. The apparatus comprises a on-chip decoder connected to a tester. The decoder includes a decoding buffer configured as a multilayer architecture, a controller, and a switching box for receiving a shift signal or a copy signal. The decoding buffer is used to store decoded test data. While the decoder decodes the encoded data, it transmits control signals to both the decoding buffer and the switching box from the controller, and sends the decoded data to scan chains of a CUT for testing through the decoding buffer. This invention has the advantages of simple encoding method, high compression rate, low power consumption in testing, and without the fault coverage loss.
