A R T I C L E I N F O A B S T R A C T Article history: Received: 17 August, 2020 Accepted: 04 October, 2020 Online: 08 December, 2020 According to IEC 61805 and ISO 26262 standards requirement inclusion of LBIST (Logic Built in Self-Test) became mandatory to achieve safety critical application such as automotive field. In such systems, once device is switched ON LBIST (Logic Built in SelfTest) is activated and testing of digital logic is performed. After safety subsystem says that the LBIST passed, the SoC (System on Chip) moves into the functional mode otherwise, the SoC moves into a safe state. In this entire start-up sequence the LBIST interacts extensively with the safety sub-system of the SoC. Startup sequence remains un-verified at RTL (Register-Transfer Level) leading to painful ECOs (Engineering Change Orders) and post Silicon issues in some cases. LBIST verification can only run if scan chains are present in design which is not the case at RTL. The paper describes design of a Design-for-Testability (DFT) technique to enable LBIST based system verification with different test approaches at RTL which eliminates the possibility of ECOs by catching most of the issues at RTL level. Simulation results are demonstrating the feasibility of the approach with emphasizing the benefits obtained on significant computational modules.
