SYSTEMS, PROCESSES AND COMPUTER-ACCESSIBLE MEDIUM FOR PROVIDING A BI-DIRECTIONAL SCAN PATH FOR PEAK CAPTURE POWER REDUCTION IN LAUCH-OFF-SHIFT TESTING

摘要

Exemplary systems, methods and computer-readable mediums can assign, from the circuit, at least two scan cells as at least two interface registers, and generate at least one bidirectional scan path between the at least two interface registers of the at least one portion of the circuit. The at least two interface registers can be disposed in neighboring positions, and the assigning can include a partitioning procedure that can iteratively merge the scan cells of the at least one portion of the circuit into a plurality of regions.
