Popis: This paper proposes an innovative test compression technology for system-on-chip (SoC) designs to share scan input channels across multiple cores which use EDT [1] compression. A new DFT compression architecture is proposed to separate control and data channels such that the control channels can be individually accessible, whereas data channels can be shared among a group of cores. The paper illustrates the benefits of the proposed technology in both the enhancement of compression ratios and the flexibility of test compression planning in a core-based SoC design flow. Experimental results with a few large industrial SoCs demonstrate that using the proposed technology the compression can be improved up to 1.87X.
