Today almost all chips have IEEE 1149.1 tap controller inside. Recently the circuit is embedded in the chips for other functional objectives. Hence a CED technique for testing and monitoring the IEEE 1149.1 tap controller had been proposed. This paper studies the optimal CED test technique on the IEEE 1149.1 tap controller. There are duplication, parity prediction, and hybrid techniques. The hybrid technique shows the best result on the area overhead. This means that the hybrid technique is perfectly adequate for the IEEE 1149.1 tap controller to be applied to test with the optimal area overhead and can be used widely in the field. Furthermore, we made more reduction from the previous method resulting in less area overhead.

SOC test methodology in ultra deep submicron (UDSM) technology with reasonable test time and cost has begun to satisfy high quality and reliability of the product. A novel hierarchical test architecture using IEEE standard 1149.1, 1149.7 and 1500 compliant facilities is proposed for the purpose of supporting flexible test environment to ensure SOC test methodology. Each embedded core in a system-on- a-chip (SOC) is controlled by test access ports (TAP) and TAP controller of IEEE standard 1149.1 as well as tested using IEEE standard 1500. An SOC device including TAPed cores is hierarchically organized by IEEE standard 1149.7 in wafer and chip level. As a result, it is possible to select/deselect all cores embedded in an SOC flexibly and reduce test cost dramatically using star scan topology.

In WDM/SCM-PON system more than thousand signals must be gathered to monitor for operation. We have implemented IEEE STD 1149.1 JTAG serial interface bus to gather and monitor analog signals. Required area is just $5{\times}5mm^2$. Gathering time per one signal is $1.75{\mu}$ second. Performance to gather is better than that defined in SFF-8472.

In order to test the board with IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan design, the test sequence must be applied as the bit stream However it is very tedious job to generate the test bit sequence since it requires the complete hlowledge about the 1149.1. This fuper introduces a convenient PCI/USB interface controller, named as Test-Ready PCI (TRPCI) ard Test-Ready USB (TRUSB). Test Bus Controller has been developed by TI and Lucent aiming to generate the test bit stream as an instruction level, thus even the novice test engineer can easily generate the test sequence.

For a System-on-a-Chip(SoC) comprised of multiple IP cores, various design techniques have been proposed to provide diverse test link configurations. In this paper, we introduce a new flag based Wrapped Core Linking Module (WCLM) that enables systematic integration of IEEE 1149.1 TAP'd cores and P1500 wrapped cores with requiring least amount of area overhead compared with other state-of-art techniques. The design preserves compatibility with standards and scalability for hierarchical access.

본 논문은 보드 레벨 테스팅 및 경계주사기법의 응용을 위한 테스트 버스 콘트롤러의 설계와 구현에 관해 다룬다. 테스트 버스 콘트롤러는 프로세서와 인터페이스를 통하여 IEEE 1149.1 테스트 버스를 제어하기 위한 칩이다. 최근 들어 IEEE 1149.1은 여러 분야에서 응용되어지고 있어서 다양한 응용분야에 적합한 테스트 버스 콘트롤러의 설계가 요구된다. 보드 레벨 테스팅을 위해서 SVF에 정의된 테스트를 수행할 수 있어야 하며, System-on-a-Chip (SoC) 설계 방식에서 내장되어지기 위해서는 작은 칩 크기와 높은 고장 검출률을 가져야 한다. 본 논문에서 구현된 칩은 기존의 테스트 장비에서 널리 쓰이는 SVF에 정의된 테스트를 모두 지원하며, 12k 게이트 정도의 크기를 가진다. 또한 독립적인 칩으로 쓰일 경우는 테스트 버스 콘트롤러가 버스 슬래이브로 쓰일 수 있으므로 IEEE 1149.1 테스트 회로를 가지도록 설계하였다.

In this paper, we implemented memory BIST circuit based on ION march algorithm, and the IEEE 1149.1 has been designed as main controlJer for embedded memory testing. The implemented memory BIST can be used for word-oriented memory since it adopts background data, this is avaliable for word-oriented memory. It is able to detect all stuck-at faults, transition faults, coupling faults, and address decoder faults in the word-oriented memory. Memory BIST and IEEE 1149.1 are described at RTL level in Verilog-HDL, and synthesized with the Synopsys. The synthesized circuits are fully velified using VerilogXL and memory cell generated by memory compiler.

IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan architecture is used as a standard in board-level system testing. The simplicity of this architecture is an advantage in system testing, but at the same time, it it makes a limitation of applications. Because of several problems such as 3-state net conflicts, or ambiguity issues, interconnect testing for multi-drop multi-board systems is more difficult than that of single board systems. A new approach using IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan architecture for multi-drop multi-board systems is developed in this paper. Adding boundary scan cells on backplane bus lines, each board has a complete scan-chain for interconnect test. This new scan-path insertion method on backplane bus using limited 1149.1 test bus less area overhead and mord efficient than previous approaches.

IEEE 1149.1 바운다리스캔은 보드 수준에서 고장점검 및 진단을 위한 테스트 설계기술이다. 그러나, 바운다리스캔 제어기의 특성상 테스트 패턴의 주입에서 관측까지 2.5 TCK가 소요되므로, 연결선상의 지연고장을 점검할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 UpdateDR 신호를 변경하여, 테스트 패턴 주입에서 관측까지 1 TCK가 소요되게 함으로써, 지연고장 점검을 가능하게 하는 기술을 소개한다. 나아가서, 정적인 고장점검을 위한 테스트 패턴을 개선해 지연고장 점검까지 가능하게 하는, N개의 net에 대한 2 log(n+2) 의 새로운 테스트패턴도 제안한다. 설계와 시뮬레이션을 통해 지연고장 점검이 가능함을 확인하였다.Abstract IEEE 1149.1 Boundary-Scan is a testable design technique for the detection and diagnosis of faults on a board. However, since it takes 2.5TCKs to observe data launched from an output boundary scan cell due to inherent characteristics of the TAP controller, it is impossible to test delay defects on the interconnect nets. This paper introduces a new technique that postpones the activation of UpdateDR signal by 1.5 TCKs while complying with IEEE 1149.1 standard. Furthermore we have developed 2 log(n+2) , where N is the number of nets, interconnect test patterns to test delay faults in addition to the static interconnect faults. The validness of our approach is verified through the design and simulation.

IEEE1149.1 바운다리스캔은 칩과 칩간의 연결선상에서 발생가능한 지연고장을 점검 할 수 없게 설계되어있다. 칩에서 패턴을 주입하는 UpdateDR과 연결선을 통해서 전달된 결과 값을 관측하는 captureDR간의 간격이 ITCK가 되도록 UPdaeDR을 변경하는 기술보다 동작속도 및 추가영역면에서 최적임을 보여준다.
