Overview
This workshop discusses at-speed faults and how to use TetraMAX for at-speed test. Topics include description, recommendation, and scripts of transition, small-delay defect, and path-delay fault model ATPG. Also covered are the Onchip Clock Controller (OCC) flow, which leverages the PLL fast clocks, and using PrimeTime to generate the necessary data for at-speed test. Hands-on labs follow each training module, allowing you to apply the skills learned in lecture. Labs include: using PrimeTime to generate the necessary files for at-speed ATPG; generating the patterns for different fault models in Tetramax; and, finally, using VCS for simulating the patterns generated.
Objectives At the end of this workshop the student should be able to:
- Describe the need for At-Speed testing
- List the At-Speed fault models available
- Describe the two launch techniques for at-speed faults
- Successfully edit a stuck-at SPF file to suit at-speed fault model
- Define the timing exceptions
- Automate the process of script generation for TetraMAX, using PrimeTime. This script will take care of the false and multi-cycle paths
- Modify a given stuck-at fault model script to run for an at-speed fault model
- State the steps required to merge transition and stuck-at fault patterns to reduce the overall patterns
- Automatically create scripts that can be used in PrimeTime to perform test mode STA
- Describe the SDD flow
- Describe the flow needed to successfully use the PLL present in your design to give the at-speed clock during capture mode
- State the steps needed to perform path-delay ATPG
- Understand the fault classification in path-delay ATPG
Audience Profile
Engineers who use ATPG tools to generate patterns for different fault models.
