Abstract:
A method for testing logic devices configured across asynchronous clock domains includes deactivating, during at-speed fault testing, a local clock signal for each of a first plurality of latches having at least one data input thereto originating from a source located within an asynchronous clock domain with respect thereto. The deactivation of a local clock signal for each of the plurality of latches is implemented in a manner so as to permit data capture within the first plurality of latches, and wherein the deactivation of a local clock signal for each of the plurality of latches is further implemented in a manner so as to permit at-speed data launch therefrom to downstream latches with respect thereto during at-speed testing.
