Description

Test-per-clock testing device for determining dynamic reconfiguration of scan chain
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of integrated circuits, in particular to a test device for determining test-per-clock of dynamic reconfiguration of a scan chain, which relates to a test technology for determining test-per-clock of a digital integrated circuit.
Background
The conventional fixed test and delay test generally use a test-per-scan mode, in which test vectors are serially shifted from a scan chain during test, and after the test vectors are applied, captured test responses are serially shifted out from the scan chain, and simultaneously, the next test vector is serially shifted in, and a test vector is generated in each scan cycle. Thus, the test-per-scan test application time is the product of the length of the scan chain in the circuit and the number of test vectors. In practice, the test application (launch) time is only the number of test vectors, and most of the test time is consumed in the scan shift. As circuit scales have increased, inefficient test-per-scan techniques have become less adaptable.
The Test-per-clock Test, which applies vectors and captures responses in a parallel fashion, generates a Test vector per Test clock cycle with its response captured by a Response Analyzer (RA), is of increasing interest. Thus, the test-per-clock mode has a strong advantage in test application time compared to the test-per-scan mode. However, since each test clock needs to generate a test vector and a capture response, the area overhead and test power consumption of the test structure are higher than those of the conventional test-per-scan structure. Optimization of test structure and test power consumption has been a research hotspot of test-per-clock tests. The BILBO (built-in block observer) test structure modifies a trigger so that the trigger can be switched among a normal mode, a shift mode, a pseudo-random mode and a MISR (multiple input shift register) response compression mode. CBILBO modifies the flip-flop to double flip-flop mode. In the CBILBO structure, TPG and RA are independent, and generation of pseudo-random vectors and response compression can be performed simultaneously. The fault detection of the pseudo-random test method is difficult to achieve satisfactory coverage in a short time due to the existence of anti-pseudo-random faults. In the paper, "a built-in self-test structure based on controlled LFSR and test vector generation" by Huchen et al, a test-per-clock method for controlling LFSR to jump is provided, so that the test efficiency is effectively improved. Zhou Bin et al put forward a 2-Bit Torsion Ring Counter (TRC) based test method in the paper "A Low Power test-per-Clock BIST Scheme through selecting Activating Multi Two bits TRCs", through Selectively Activating the torsion ring counter, effectively reducing test-per-Clock test power consumption and improving fault coverage rate.
However, the above method is only for the combinational circuit test, and in the test-per-clock test of the scan sequential circuit, since the response of the pseudo-output (PPO) inside the circuit needs to be processed at each test clock, the design of the response analyzer of the test-per-clock test of the scan sequential circuit is much more complicated than the test-per-scan test. Bardell et al in the patent "US 4513418" modified the scan chain, and the compression result of the test response was used for the next test generation, so that it has the functions of vector generation and response compression. Son et al in the paper "enhanced test-per-clock BIST architecture" proposed a degenerate MISR to replace response compression, simplifying the structure of Bardell. Krasniewski et al in the paper "Circular self-test path: a low-cost BIST technology" propose a Circular self-test path (CSTP) method that modifies sequential units in a circuit into CSTP units and concatenates them into a Circular chain. The circular chain can be used as a test vector generator and a test response analyzer at the same time, so that the circular chain has the advantages of small area overhead, relatively simple control logic and the like. Aiming at the defect that the (class) pseudo-random test cannot meet the fault coverage rate in a limited time, the literal science et al realizes a definite CSTP method in a paper 'Deterministic circuit Selftest Path' by adding jump logic, and when a plurality of continuous test vectors cannot detect a new fault, the continuous test vectors jump to another definite vector to continue to run through the jump logic. But introducing too much delay would be detrimental to the delay test due to the insertion of additional hardware. Nov-k et al in the article "Test-per-Clock Testing of the Circuits with Scan" proposed a deterministic Test-per-Clock Test structure that effectively reduced Test application time and Test data storage. But when the circuit is in the test mode, the functional flip-flop no longer receives the circuit response, but is received in parallel by the additionally designed space compactor and MISR. Although the space compactor reduces the number of inputs of the MISR, since the space compactor is composed of an xor network, the time delay of response capture is deteriorated by the multi-layer xor gate, and the space compactor cannot adapt to high-frequency tests. In addition, the space compactor makes the test structure become single in adaptability, and any structure change of the circuit (such as late-stage engineering change order) and change of the test program (such as replacement of test set) can cause the reduction of fault coverage. Rajski proposes a scan chain dynamic reconstruction method in a Patent 'United States Patent 9714981', in the method, a part of scan chains apply test excitation, a part of scan chains respond and capture, and the rest triggers are used as functional units, so that the power consumption of the traditional test-per-clock test and the hardware overhead of a response analyzer are effectively reduced, the defects are complex control and high wiring overhead, and meanwhile, because the test generation is based on a sequential circuit, compared with a full scan design circuit, the test generation is much more complex, and some faults even have the condition that a limited test period cannot be tested.
To summarize: in the aspect of test-per-clock testing, although the (class) pseudo-random test-per-clock-based testing device is simple and easy to implement, the testing efficiency is not high, the hardware cost of the testing structure of the deterministic test-per-clock-based testing device based on the traditional scan chain structure is high, the testing power consumption is too high, the test generation of the deterministic test-per-clock-based testing device based on the traditional scan chain dynamic reconfiguration structure is complex, and the wiring cost is high.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a definite test-per-clock testing device for dynamic reconfiguration of a scan chain aiming at the defects of the prior art, which can complete high-quality and low-cost detection of fixed faults and time delay faults under the conditions of low testing application time, low testing storage overhead, hardware logic overhead and low testing power consumption.
The technical scheme adopted by the invention for solving the technical problems is as follows:
the invention comprises a selector, a mode controller, a response analyzer and a dynamically reconfigured scan chain group; the test-per-clock test apparatus is a test-per-clock block test apparatus that is dynamically reconfigured based on scan chains whose scan cell structures are divided into SFD and DFD structures, so that scan chain types are divided into SFD scan chains and DFD scan chains, and test patterns of the scan chains are divided into shift test pattern (S) scan chains and response compression mode (C) scan chains.
The SFD scan chain is realized by connecting SFD scan units in series;
the DFD scan chain is realized by serially connecting DFD scan units;
during testing, each scan chain has two selectable working modes, namely a shift test mode (S) and a response compression mode (C); the scan chain in the shift test mode (S) forms a shift register, test data is loaded into each shift register through a selector, and a shift test vector is generated in each test clock period; the scan chains simultaneously in the response compression mode (C) constitute a response compressor, which receives and processes in parallel the test responses from the shift test mode (S) scan chain excitations; and after the test period is finished, each scan chain carries out mode reconfiguration through the mode controller and enters the next test period.
The DFD scanning unit is realized by adopting 2 triggers, and can simultaneously carry out a shift test mode (S) and a response compression mode (C);
the working modes of the DFD scanning unit and the SFD scanning unit are as follows:
when the control signal M1M2When the signal value of the DFD scanning unit and the SFD scanning unit is '11', the DFD scanning unit and the SFD scanning unit work in a shift test mode, and scan-in receives shift test data from a previous scanning unit and applies a test vector to a circuit through a Q end; meanwhile, the FF2 flip-flop of the DFD scanning unit can also carry out response compression simultaneously;
when the control signal M1M2When the signal value of the DFD scanning unit and the SFD scanning unit is '10', the DFD scanning unit and the SFD scanning unit work in a response compression mode (C) to perform response compression, and meanwhile, an output Q end is blocked;
when the control signal M1M2When the signal value of (1) is "01", the DFD scan unit and the SFD scan unit operate in a normal function mode.
The determination of the scan chain does not transmit the test response generated by applying the test excitation to any scan cell on the same scan chain to the scan chain cell;
the type of the scanning unit is determined according to requirements, sequential circuit test generation is simplified into combinational logic level test generation, and meanwhile wiring overhead and test mode switching times are reduced; the specific implementation process is as follows:
the determination of the scan chain, namely the grouping of the scan units, is realized based on the graph coloring theory, unrelated scan units are found out and are grouped into the same scan chain, so that test responses generated by any scan unit on the same scan chain by applying test excitation are not transmitted to the scan chain unit, but are received and processed by other scan chains;
determining the type of the scanning unit, wherein the scanning unit has two types, namely a DFD scanning unit and an SFD scanning unit, and the type of the scanning unit is determined according to the following rules:
① when a flip-flop is to act as both a test stimulus flip-flop and a test response flip-flop, it is modified to a DFD scan cell;
②, the flip-flop can be modified into DFD scan cell to reduce the wiring overhead when the wiring overhead exceeds the budget, on the other hand, the flip-flop can be modified into DFD scan cell to reduce the number of test mode switching when the number of cells in a scan chain is lower than the set threshold;
③ other flip-flops are modified into SFD scan cells.
The scan chain test mode is determined to follow the following rules:
① when a test vector is applied, the scan chain is now in shift test mode (S) as long as there is a definite bit of the vector on the scan chain;
② when applying test vectors, the response of the fault needs to be captured by at least one scan cell, the scan chain in which the scan cell is located is the response compression mode (C);
③ the unrelated scan chains are configured to block inputs to the unrelated circuits in response to the compression mode (C) when the test vectors are applied.
The invention has the following beneficial effects:
compared with the traditional single scan chain structure, the multi-scan chain structure greatly reduces the length of the shift register, and effectively improves the test efficiency; on the other hand, compared with the traditional method in which the scanning unit is realized by adopting a double flip-flop (DFD) design, the invention introduces a single flip-flop (SFD) design, thereby effectively reducing the hardware cost of the response analyzer; compared with the traditional scan chain reconfiguration test device, the DFD unit design provided by the invention not only can simplify the test generation of the sequential circuit into the test generation of the combinational logic circuit, but also can optimize the wiring overhead and the optimization control complexity.

Detailed Description
The invention is further illustrated by the following figures and examples.
As shown in fig. 1 to 4, a test-per-clock test apparatus for determining a dynamic reconfiguration based on a scan chain includes: test-per-clock block test device based on scan chain dynamic reconfiguration, SFD (single flip-flop-design) and DFD (double flip-flop-design) scan unit realization, scan chain and scan unit type determination, and scan chain test mode determination.
Test-per-clock block test device based on scan chain dynamic reconfiguration specifically comprises the following steps:
the block test device based on scan chain reconfiguration is shown in fig. 1 and comprises a memory 101, a selector 102, a dynamically reconfigured scan chain group 103, a mode controller 104 and a response analyzer 105. The test data stored on the memory 101 at the time of test is loaded into the corresponding scan chain through the selector 102. The scan chain has two forms, one is realized by connecting SFD (single flip-flop design) scan units in series, and the other is realized by connecting DFD (double flip-flop design) scan units in series. During testing, each scan chain has two selectable working modes, namely a shift test mode (S) and a response compression mode (C). The scan chains in S-mode constitute shift registers to which test data is loaded via selector 102, generating a shift test vector per test hour. Meanwhile, the scan chains in C-mode constitute a response compressor, which receives and processes test responses from S-mode scan chain excitations in parallel. After the test cycle is finished, each scan chain is reconfigured to enter the next test cycle through the mode controller 104. At the same time, the response analyzer 105 accepts the outputs of the scan chains in parallel for response compression.
The specific method for realizing the SFD (single flip-flop design) and DFD (double flip-flop design) scanning units comprises the following steps:
implementation of the SFD and DFD scan cell structures as shown in fig. 2-a and 2-b, respectively, the DFD scan cell includes 1 multiplexer 201, 1 xor gate 202, a first flip-flop (FF1)203, a second flip-flop (FF2)204, a first and gate 205, and a second and gate 206;
two input ends of the multiplexer 201 are respectively connected with a scan-in end and a D end; the scan-in terminal receives the shift test data from the scan-out terminal of the previous DFD scanning unit; the D end is the input end of the original function circuit trigger; the output terminal of the multiplexer 201 is connected to the input terminal of a first flip-flop (FF1) 203; the output of the first flip-flop (FF1)203 is connected to one input of a first AND gate 205, and the other input of the first AND gate 205 is connected to the signal M2The output of the first and gate 205 is the Q terminal and applies the test vector to the circuit through the Q terminal; the output terminal scan _ out of the first flip-flop (FF1)203 is simultaneously connected to the scan _ in terminal of the next DFD scan cell; two input ends of the exclusive-or gate 202 are respectively connected with a res-in end and a D end; the res-in terminal receives circuit response data from the res-out terminal of the previous DFD scanning unit; the output of exclusive-or gate 202The output terminal of the second flip-flop (FF2)204 is connected to the input terminal of the second flip-flop (FF2)204, the output terminal of the second flip-flop (FF2)204 is connected to one input terminal of the second AND gate 206, and the other input terminal of the second AND gate 206 is connected to the signal M1The output end of the second and gate 206 is a res _ out end, and is connected to the res _ in end of the next DFD scanning unit through the res _ out end; signal M1And also to the select signal terminal of the multiplexer 201.
The SFD unit includes a second exclusive or gate 211, a second multiplexer 212, a third multiplexer 213, a third flip-flop 214, and a third and gate 215.
Two input ends of the second exclusive-or gate 211 are respectively connected with a scan-in end and a D end; the scan-in terminal receives the shift test data from the scan-out terminal of the previous SFD scanning unit; an output terminal of the second exclusive or gate 211 is connected to an input terminal of the third multiplexer 213; two input ends of the second multiplexer 212 are respectively connected with the scan-in end and the D end; the output terminal of the second multiplexer 212 is connected to another input terminal of the third multiplexer 213; the output terminal of the third multiplexer 213 is connected to the input terminal of the third flip-flop 214, the output terminal of the third flip-flop 214 is a scan _ out terminal, which is respectively connected to the scan-in terminal of the next SFD scan cell and one input terminal of the second and gate 215, and the other input terminal of the second and gate 215 is connected to the signal M2. Select signal terminal sum signal M of the second multiplexer 2121Connected, the selection signal terminal of the third multiplexer 213 and the signal M2Are connected.
The DFD unit is different from the SFD unit in that it is implemented by using 2 flip-flops, and can perform shift test and response compression simultaneously.
The operation modes of the DFD unit and the SFD unit are shown in fig. 3: when M is1M2With a signal value of "11", the SFD and DFD units operate in a shift test mode, scan-in receives the shifted test data from the previous scan unit and applies the test vector to the circuit through the Q terminal. Unlike the SFD unit, the FF2 flip-flop of the DFD unit can also respond simultaneously. When M is1M2The SFD and DFD units operate in response to a signal value of "10In response mode, response compression is performed while the output Q terminal is blocked (blocking). When M is1M2Is "01", the SFD and DFD units operate in a normal functional mode.
Since the clock signal of each flip-flop can be provided by the system clock, the proposed testing apparatus can be applied to full-speed test-per-clock testing, and when the scan chain is in response mode, both SFD and DFD adopt Q-terminal blocking technique, and the irrelevant circuit blocks will be in stable state, so that the testing power consumption will be effectively reduced. The shift test adopted in the test device just accords with the LOS (latch-on-shift) test mechanism (the latter vector is obtained by shifting the forward vector), and because the test excitation (vector) loading and the response capture in the circuit are respectively acted by the triggers on different scan chains, the scheme effectively gets rid of the problem of realizing the scan-enable signal in the traditional LOS method.
The scan chain and the type of the scan unit are determined, and the specific method comprises the following steps:
the determination of scan chains, i.e. the grouping of scan cells, can be implemented based on graph coloring theory, and the basic idea is to find out irrelevant scan cells and group them into the same scan chain, so that any scan cell in the same scan chain applies test stimulus to generate a test response which is not transmitted to the scan chain cell but received and processed by other scan chains. An example circuit is given in fig. 4 (a). Fig. 4 (B) shows a corresponding directed graph of the circuit, where each vertex corresponds to a scan cell (flip-flop cell), and a directed edge between vertices a and B indicates that there is a combinational logic path from a (drive) to B (receive). In fig. 4, (c) shows an optimized undirected graph, and the grouping problem of the scan cells can be converted into the vertex coloring problem. As shown in fig. 4 (c), the scan chain of the example circuit may be organized as follows: FF1 and FF3 may be located in the same scan chain, and FF2 and FF4 are located separately in different scan chains.
The type of the scanning unit is determined, the scanning unit has two types, namely a DFD unit and an SFD unit, and the type determination follows the following rules:
① at test, when a certain flip-flop is to act as both a test stimulus flip-flop and a test response flip-flop, it is modified to be a DFD scan cell, as with the FF4 flip-flop in fig. 4, when testing a fault at a fault point f, the flip-flop FF4 is to be generated as both a test stimulus and a test response at the same time, therefore, the flip-flop FF4 should be modified to be a DFD cell, enabling both test stimulus generation and test response compression to be performed at the same time, it is noted that in the Patent "united states Patent 9714981", since there is no scan cell that can perform both stimulus generation and response compression at the same time, FF4 can only be a functional flip-flop to activate a fault through multiple-cycle control assignments at other inputs, some faults may have limited test cycle untestable conditions;
② it is desirable to optimize the routing overhead and control complexity, and to modify the flip-flops to DFD scan cells, e.g., when too much routing overhead is realized, it is possible to include DFD cells in the DFD scan chain to reduce the routing overhead, on the other hand, when the number of cells in a scan chain is small, e.g., FF2 in FIG. 4, it is possible to modify DFD scan cells and FF4 to include the same scan chain, thereby reducing the number of test mode switches;
③ other flip-flops are modified into SFD scan cells.
From the above rules, the design of the DFD scan unit increases hardware overhead compared with the SFD, but can effectively reduce test generation complexity and test generation period, and simplify sequential circuit test generation into combinational logic level test generation. Meanwhile, the DFD scanning unit is not limited by position, and wiring overhead and test mode switching times can be effectively reduced by converting DFD design.
The method for determining the scan chain test mode specifically comprises the following steps:
the scan chain can be in two modes at test time, namely a shift test mode (S) and a response compression mode (C), and the mode determination follows the following rules:
① when a test vector is applied, the scan chain is now in shift test mode (S) as long as there is a definite bit of the vector on the scan chain;
② when applying test vectors, the response of the fault needs to be captured by at least one scan cell, the scan chain in which the scan cell is located is the response compression mode (C);
③ the unrelated scan chains are configured to block inputs to the unrelated circuits in response to the compression mode (C) when the test vectors are applied.
The above-mentioned embodiment is an implementation manner of the test-per-clock test apparatus determined based on the dynamic reconfiguration of the scan chain in the method of the present invention, but the implementation manner of the present invention is not limited by the above-mentioned embodiment, and any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications that do not depart from the spirit and principle of the present invention should be regarded as equivalent substitutions, which are included in the protection scope of the present invention.
