Security Extension for IEEE Std 1149.1

A security extension for IEEE Std 1149.1 is proposed. It provides a locking mechanism which prevents unauthorised users to interfere via test bus with the system normal operation. The security extension requires small hardware overhead and allows full conformance with IEEE Std 1149.1.     

Self-Timed Boundary-Scan Cells for Multi-Chip Module Test

This paper presents a self-timed scan-path architecture, to be used in a conventional synchronous environment, and with basic application in digital testing and interconnections checking in a Smart-Substrate MCM (T.A. García, A.J. Acosta, J.M. Mora, J. Ramos, and J.L. Huertas, Self-Timed Boundary-Scan Cells for Multi-Chip Module Test, Proceedings of IEEE VLSI Test Symposium, April 1998, pp. 92–97). With this approach, the potential advantages of self-timed asynchronous systems are explored for their practical use in a classical MCM testing application. Three different self-timed asynchronous boundary scan cells are proposed (Sense, Drive and Drive & Sense cells) that can be connected to form a self-timed scan-path. The main advantage is that no global test clock is needed, avoiding clock skew and synchronization faults in test mode, and hence, a more reliable test process is achieved. These cells have been designed and integrated in active substrates, building several boundary-scan configurations and being fully compatible with the ANSI/IEEE 1149.1 Standard. The experimental results, as well as their comparison with their synchronous counterparts, show the feasibility of the proposed self-timed approach for testing interconnections in a MCM.     

Designing “Dual Personality” IEEE 1149.1 Compliant Multi-Chip Modules

The IEEE 1149.1 Test Access Port and Boundary-Scan ArchitectureStandard can be used at many different levels in the integration hierarchy of a product. However there is one level where using the standard poses some difficulty. Multi-Chip Modules (MCM) belong to this level. This paper explores the problemand proposes a set of solutions for various classes of MCMs.

Enhanced Reduced Pin-Count Test for Full-Scan Design

This paper presents enhanced reduced pin-count test (E-RPCT) for low-cost test. E-RPCT is an extension of traditional RPCT for circuits in which a large number of digital IC pins is multiplexed for scan. The basic concept of E-RPCT is to provide access to the internal scan chains via an IEEE 1149.1 compatible boundary-scan architecture, instead of direct access via the IC pins. The boundary-scan chain performs serial/parallel conversion of test data. E-RPCT also provides I/O wrap to test non-contacted pins. The paper presents E-RPCT for full-scan design, as well as for full-scan core-based design.
