摘 要:正This paper presents a method for designing power-aware test wrappers for embedded cores with multiple clock domains. We make use of partitioning of the clock domains into smaller sub-domains in combination with bandwidth conversion, multiple shift frequencies and gated-clocks to achieve greater flexibility when determining an optimal test schedule under tight power constraints.
