How Sequential Depth helps to Improve Test coverage ?

Post by vikramrajput »

Hi,

suppose we have a FF1 which is scannable with scan clock and its output is connected to FF2 which is non scannable. I mean FF1 is connected with scan clock and FF2 is connected with normal clock. If we increase sequential depth , then how it will increase or effect test coverage ?

Hi Vikram,

May be you know as sequential depth is related to capture ( Launc on capture if atspeed), when we want to capture value related to input of non-scannable flop we need extra clock pulse so by increasing seuential depth as 2 you can capture response of that non-scan flop via scanable flop hence test coverage will improve.

Thanks & Regards,
Renu

hi renu,

can you please elaborate your answer. and also let me know, this functionality is related to NCP (Named Captured Procedure) cycles ?
