CTL Press Event May 2003 Appendix
CTL Press Event May 2003 CTL Background IEEE P core test language (CTL) an extension to IEEE 1450 standard test interface language (STIL) utilizing IEEE P1500 embedded core test. IEEE P1500 standard for embedded core test (SECT) tells the IP core provider how to wrap cores in a standard way for testability all necessary information for test pattern re-use the need for test during SOC system integration structural and test modes information to allow insertion of IP cores in an SOC design
CTL Press Event May 2003 Example SOC pinout Agilent TPPA enables: Concurrent Test* SOC DFT sets up the cores for independent operation during test, allowing them to be executed concurrently using the TPPA. Can reduce test time typically by 30-50%. SoCBIST Diagnostics Synopsys’ SoCBIST is a SOC DFT technique that reduces the number of vectors by x and test time by over 10x. Diagnostics of failures detected by SoCBIST requires a TPPA enabled capability called “Selective BIST Capture.” BIST Control 1Gb Serial JTAG Scan Port800 MHz clock 50MHz clock Analog Instrument * Concurrent test requires an additional charge software license Agilent Test Processor Per Pin Architecture (TPPA) - what it means for SOC DFT
