High level synthesis methodology for on-line testability optimization

ISBN: 0769506461Introducing testability considerations as soon as possible in the design process results in more testable design with reduced area overhead. A very important improvements can be carried out before the scheduling step. An optimization which takes effect at behavioral specifications and leads to production of an improved scheduling is proposed by this study. This optimization is good for improving not only on-line testability but also for some other objectives in the obtained synthesis
