Original Abstract

The paper deals with two approaches to the RTL testability analysis - formal and analytical ones and their results. The formal approach is based on the theory of set and the predicate logic concepts and algorithms, while the analytical approach applies controllability/observability metrics as a population for genetic algorithm procedures. The reasons for RTL testability analysis are described together with possible solutions. The goal of both methodologies is to utilise the data paths existing in the in the UUA (Unit Under Analysis) to reduce necessary modifications and recommend registers for scan. Possible modifications are discussed from the area overhead point of view.
