Fourth International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design A Proposal for Routing-Based Timing-Driven Scan Chain Ordering San Jose, California March 24-March 26 ISBN: 0-7695-1881-8
Scan chain insertion can have large impact on routability, wirelength and timing. We propose a routing-driven and timing-aware methodology for scan insertion with minimum wirelength. We take into account timing slacks at all sinks that are affected by scan insertion, to achieve a scan chain ordering that meets timing and has smallest wirelength. For the case where sink timing is not met, we also propose a buffer insertion methodology with minimum wirelength objective. The key contribution of this paper is a method to compute a timing-driven incremental connection suited to scan insertion; this has possible applications in general incremental routing.
