Abstract: A Test Chip has been designed and manufactured to evaluate different testing techniques for combinational or full-scan circuits. The Test Chip is a 25k gate CMOS gate-array using LSI Logic's LFT150K technology, and includes support (design for testability) circuitry and five types of circuits-under-test (CUT). Over 5,000 die have been manufactured. The five circuits-under-test include both datapath and synthesized control logic. The tests include design verification (simulation), exhaustive, pseudo-random, and deterministic vectors for various fault models (stuck-at, transition, delay faults, and IDDQ Testing). The chip will also be testing using the CrossCheck methodology, as well as other new technques, including Stability Checking and Very-Low-Voltage Testing. The experiment includes an investigation of both serial and parallel signature analysis. This report describes the Test Evaluation Chip Experiment, including the design of the Test Chip and the tests applied. A future report will cover the experimental results and data analysis.
