The traditional debug tools for chip tests and software developments need a huge investment and a plenty of time. These problems can be overcome by Embedded Debugger based the JTAG boundary Scan Architecture. Thus, the IEEE 1149.1 standard is adopted by ASIC designers for the testability problems. We designed the RED(Reusable Embedded Debugger) using the JTAG boundary Scan Architecture. The proposed debugger is applicable for not a chip test but also a software debugging. Our debugger has an additional hardware module (EICEM : Embedded ICE Module) for more critical real-time debugging.

For the past several years, many countries have passed or have recommended legislation making it illegal to use in-hand mobile phones while driving and several manufacturers have released car kit solutions enabling hands-free operation of the mobile phone. But an automobile environment can pose extremely harsh physical conditions impacting audio quality, safety, and reliability. This article introduced a Car Kits that provided a total entertainment and telematics solution, which support all current features within the constraints of low power consumption, form factor, price, ease-of-use, manufacture ability, testability and high total quality.

Scan design is currently the most widely used structured Design For Testability approach. In scan design, all storage elements are replaced with scan cells, which are then configured as one or more shift registers(also called scan chains) during the shift operation. As a result, all inputs to the combinational logic, including those driven by scan cells, can be controlled and all outputs from the combinational logic, including those driving scan cells, can be observed. The scan inserted design, called scan design, is operated in three modes: normal mode, shift mode, and capture mode. Circuit operations with associated clock cycles conducted in these three modes are referred to as normal operation, shift operation, and capture operation, respectively. In spite of these, scan design methodology has defects. They are power dissipation problem and test time during test application. We propose a new methodology about scan shift clock operation and present low power scan design and short test time.

Scan design is a structured design-for-testability technique in which flip-flops are re-designed so that the flip-flops are chained in shift registers. We propose a new technique to re-design about clock operation. This technique propose about low power operation of scan clock and saved time of test operation.

To overcome the large hardware overhead attendant in the full scan design, the concept of partial scan design has emerged with the virtue of less area and testability close to full scan. Combinational Structure has been developed to avoid the use of sequential test generator. But the patterns sifted on scan register have to be held for sequential depth period upon the aid of the dedicated HOLD circuit. In this paper, a new levelized structure is introduced aiming to exclude the need of extra HOLD circuit. The time to stimulate each scan latch is uniquely determined on this structure, hence each test pattern can e applied by scan shifting and then pulsing a system clock like the full scan but with much les scan flip-flops. Experimental results show that some sequential circuits are levelized by just scanning self-loop flip-flops.

This paper proposes a new testable design for Zipper CMOS circuits. This design provides an additional feedback loop (called self oscillation loop) whichin the circuit, for testability. The circuit is tested only by observing the oscillation on the loop. The design can be applied to the multistage as well as the single stage, and can detect multiple faults which are undetectable by the conventional testing method. The application and evaluation of test patterns become easy and fault-free responses are not necessary. If the conventional testing method is applied to the sequential Zipper CMOS circuit with the LSSD design technique, it has the serious defect that the initial value may change due to intermediate test patterns and much time taken to apply the necessary test patterns. By using the proposed design, however, the sequential Zipper CMOS circuit with the LSSD design technique can be easily tested without such a defect. Also, the validity of the design is verified by performing the circuit level simulation.

This paper proposes a new syndrome-testable design method for large MOSPLA's. In the conventional syndrome test method, the testing array circuit for testability is added but it has the defect that the circuit gives effect on the normal operation of the basic PLA circuit. Therefore, by adding the shift registers to the product lines of the basic MOSPLA's this defect is eliminated and the number of test patterns is decreased. In order to reduce the number of fault free syndromes to be predetermined, also, one output line, which is connected to all product lines is added. Therefore the number of output lines be observed is decreased. And the analytical method to compute fault free syndromes is presented. By unsing this method, the time and the effort to compute the syndromes are decreased.
