    COVERAGE IMPROVEMENT

    For best results ,we may prefer to optimize three general areas…
    1.Highest test coverage
    2.Lowest pattern count
    3.Shortest ATPG run time.

    For getting good coverage we have to do the following steps..


    1. Change the ATPG engine flavour
    2. Increse capture cycles
    3. Fault collapsing
    4. Increasing abort limit.
    5.ATPG effectiveness
    6.Untestable fault categories.
    7.Handling Black boxes
    8.Add scan groups dummy
    9.Analyze Test Points
    10.Handle memory modules and false paths
    1. Change the ATPG engine flavour

    ATPG Engines are 3 types.

    1.Basic ATPG:
    Operates full scan mode with combinational ATPG.

    2.Fast Sequential ATPG:


    Operates in partial scan mode with limited support. In this multiple capture
    procedures are allowed in load/unload like LOS,LOC…

    3.Full Sequential ATPG:


    This option switches to non threaded processing…
    The following results are for Adaptive scan with compression…

    Model : Transition
    Engine: Basic
    Type : Un collapsed
    2. Increasing Capture Cycles:
    Model : Transition
    Engine: Fast Sequential
    Type : Un collapsed
    Capture Cycles : 2
    Model : Transition
    Engine: Fast Sequential
    Type : Un collapsed
    Capture Cycles : 4
    3.Fault Collapsing:
    Model : Transition
    Engine: Fast Sequential
    Type : Collapsed ( Reducing Pattern Count)
    Capture Cycles : 4
    4. Increasing abort limit:
    Model : Transition
    Engine: Fast Sequential
    Type : Collapsed ( Reducing Pattern Count)
    Capture Cycles : 4
    Abort Limit :30
    Model : Transition
    Engine: Fast Sequential
    Type : Collapsed ( Reducing Pattern Count)
    Capture Cycles : 4
    Abort Limit :300
    5.ATPG effectiveness
    Model : Transition
    Engine: Fast Sequential
    Type : Collapsed ( Reducing Pattern Count)
    Capture Cycles : 4
    Abort Limit :300

    Effectiveness

    ***For above(1 to 5) all we simply changing the tool commands..,


    remaining (6-10) we analyse the design first and will do the changes.
