This paper presents a methodology for testing high-performance pipeline circuits with slow-spee testers. The technique uses a clock timing circuit to control data transfer in the pipeline in test mode. A clock timing circuit capable of achieving a timing resolution of 50ps in 0.18µm CMOS technology is presented. The design provides the ability to test the clock timing circuit itself.
