Oscillation ring based interconnect test scheme for SoC

We propose a novel oscillation ring (OR) test architecture for testing interconnects in SoC. In addition to stuck-at and open faults, this scheme can detect delay faults and crosstalk glitches. IEEE P1500 wrapper cells are modified. An efficient ring-generation algorithm is proposed to construct ORs based on a graph model. Experimental results on MCNC benchmark circuits show the feasibility of the scheme and the effectiveness of the algorithm. Our method achieves 100% fault coverage with a small number of tests.
