19th IEEE VLSI Test Symposium Test Generation for Maximizing Ground Bounce for Internal Circuitry with Reconvergent Fan-outs Marina Del Rey, CA March 29-April 03 ISBN: 0-7695-1122-8
Due to technology scaling and increasing clock rate, problems due to noise effects lead to an increase in design and test efforts and a decrease in circuit performance. This paper addresses the problem of efficiently and effectively generating two vector tests to produce the maximum ground bounce in a circuit. We have developed a branch and bound procedure that can find a good quality test for maximum ground bounce in a rather short time. Comparison of results with SPICE simulations confirms the quality of tests obtained by our procedure.
