An IEEE 1149.1-based BIST method for at-speed testing of inter-switch links in network on chip

With advance in technology and working frequency reaching gigahertz, designing and testing interconnects have become an important issue. In this paper, we proposed a BIST-based boundary scan architecture to at-speed test of crosstalk faults for inter-switch communication links in network on chip. This architecture includes enhanced cells intended for MVT model test patterns generation and analysis test responses. One new instruction is used to control cells and TPG controller in the at-speed test mode in order to fully comply with conventional IEEE 1149.1 standard.     

Mesh-connected rings topology for network-on-chip

With the feature size of semiconductor technology reducing and intellectual property （IP） cores increasing, on-chip interconnection network architectures have a great influence on the performance and area of system-on-chip （SoC） design. Focusing on trade-off performance, cost and implementation, a regular network-on-chip （NoC） architecture which is mesh-connected rings （MCR） interconnection network is proposed. The topology of MCR is simple, planar and scalable in architecture, which combines mesh with ring. A detailed theoretical analysis for MCR and mesh is given, and a simulation analysis based on the virtual channel router with wormhole switching is also presented. The results compared with the general mesh architecture show that MCR has better performance, especially in local traffics and low loads, and lower cost.     

BIST for network on chip communication infrastructure based on combination of extended IEEE 1149.1 and IEEE 1500 standards

In this paper we propose a BIST based method to test network on chip (NOC) communication infrastructure. The proposed method utilizes an IEEE 1149.1 architecture based on BIST to at-speed test of crosstalk faults for inter-switch links as well as an IEEE 1500-compliant wrapper to test switches themselves in NOC communication infrastructure. The former architecture includes enhanced cells intended for MAF model test patterns generation and analysis test responses, and the later architecture includes: (a) a March decoder which decodes and executes March commands, which are scanned in serially from input system, on First-In-First-Out (FIFO) buffers in the switch; and (b) a scan chain which is defined to test routing logic block of the switch.To at-speed test inter-switch links one new instruction is used to control cells and TPG controller. Two new instructions, as well as, are applied to activate March decoder and to control scan activities in switch test session. These instructions are defined to fully comply with conventional IEEE 1149.1 and IEEE 1500 standards.
