specific Embodiment approach 2

[0055] Embodiment 2. The difference between this embodiment and the automatic testability design system based on Perl-based EDIF netlist level circuits described in Embodiment 1 is that the testability circuit generation module 4 obtains the final design for testability. The latter circuit shields all the internal information of the circuit to the outside, and only provides an interface in the form of a common hardware description language.

specific Embodiment approach 3

[0056] The specific embodiment three, the automatic testing method of the EDIF netlist level circuit based on Perl, it is realized by the following steps:

[0057] Step 1. Use the circuit source code analysis module 1 to analyze the triggers used in the circuit, and use Perl to process in the EDIF environment;

[0058] Step 2: Use the trigger modification module 2 to modify the trigger used in the circuit for testability, and use Perl to process it in the EDIF environment;

[0059] Step 3. Use Perl to perform Verilog encapsulation on the EDIF circuit after the testability modification of the flip-flop, shield the EDIF details, and then design the scan chain for the flip-flop with the testability modification in the circuit;

[0060] Step 4. Use Perl to give the final testable circuit that conforms to Verilog syntax, and after verifying that the modification is correct, use Perl to generate an automatic test file that conforms to Tel syntax, and then realize the automatic test ...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an automatic testability design system and an automatic testability design method for EDIF netlist level circuits. Background technique [0002] Nowadays, with the development of semiconductor technology, integrated circuit chips (IC) have been widely used, and the reliability of integrated circuit chips has become an important issue. The method of testing ICs has become the main way to solve the reliability of ICs, but the low testability of ICs with complex functions seriously restricts the effectiveness of IC testing. The design for testability of IC can effectively improve the controllability and observability of the circuit, and greatly improve the testability of the chip, so that IC testing can be carried out effectively. [0003] The testability design of the circuit is to modify the structure of the original circuit without affecting the function of the circuit, so that the nodes in the circuit that do not have control...
