HIERARCHICAL BUILT-IN SELF-TEST FOR SYSTEM-ON-CHIP DESIGN

摘要

Hierarchical built-in self-test methods and arrangement for verifying system functionality. As a result, an effective built-in self-test methodology is provided for conducting complete system-on-chip testing, to ensure both the circuit reliability and performance of system-on-chip design. As an added advantage, development costs are reduced for system-on-chip applications.
