Test Pattern File Formats

FlexTest Test Pattern File Format

 

 

The scan chain definition defines the data associated with a scan chain in the circuit. If there are multiple scan chains within one scan group, each scan chain will have its own independent scan chain definition. The scan chain name will be enclosed in double quotes. The scan-in pin will be the name of the primary input scan-in pin enclosed in double quotes. The scan-out pin will be the name of the primary output scan-out pin enclosed in double quotes. The length of the scan chain will be the number of scan cells in the scan chain. Any scan chains listed in the test pattern file must be defined with the Add Scan Chains command.

PROCEDURE <procedure_type> “scan_group_procedure_name” = <list of events>

END;

The type of procedures in each scan group may include shift procedure, load and unload procedure, shadow-control procedure, master-observe procedure, and shadow-observe procedure. These procedures should be exactly the same as the test procedure file. The list of events of each procedure may be any combination of the following commands:

FORCE “primary_input_pin” <value> <time>;

This command is used to force a value (0,1, X, or Z) on a selected primary input pin at a given time. The time values must not be lower than previous time values for this command. The primary input pin will be enclosed in double quotes.

APPLY “scan_group_procedure_name” <#times> <time>;

This command indicates the selected procedure name is to be applied the selected number of times beginning at the selected time. The scan group procedure name will be enclosed in double quotes. This command may only be used with the load and unload procedures.

FORCE_SCI “scan_chain_name” <time>;

This command indicates the time in the shift procedure that values are to be placed on the scan chain inputs. The scan chain name will be enclosed in double quotes.

MEASURE_SCO “scan_chain_name” <time>;
