摘要
Test power is now a big concern in large core-based systems. In this paper, we present a general approach for minimizing power consumption during test of integrated circuits or embedded cores. The proposed low power/energy technique is based on a gated clock scheme that can be used in a test-per-scan or a test-per-clock environment. The idea is to reduce the clock rate on the scan path (test-per-scan) or the test pattern generator (test-per-clock) without increasing the test time. Numerous advantages can be found in applying such a technique.
