VLSI Scan Design Technique MCQ – Objective Question with Answer for Biotechnology

21. Boundary-scan method takes lesser time on test pattern generation.

A. true
B. false

Answer: A

The boundary-scan method takes lesser time on test pattern generation and application.

 

22. The disadvantage of the boundary-scan method is that the fault coverage is less.

A. true
B. false

Answer: B

The boundary scan test method is simplified and efficient and also its fault coverage is increased.

 

23. Which occupies a lesser area?

A. lssd
B. boundary scan test
C. serial scan
D. partial scan

Answer: D

The partial scan is derived from the scan path technique and it consumes very less area.

 

24. The partial scan approach scan

A. all input node faults
B. all output node faults
C. faults not detected by designer functional vector
D. all faults

Answer: C

The partial scan approach detects faults that are not detected by the designer’s functional vectors.

 

25. In scan/set method __________ is used to implement a scan path.

A. serial registers
B. storage elements
C. parallel registers
D. separate register

Answer: D

In the scan/set method, storage elements are not used to implement a scan path. A separate register is added to scan test data in and out.

 

26. Built-in self-test aims to

A. reduce test pattern generation cost
B. reduce the volume of test data
C. reduce test time
D. all of the mentioned

Answer: D

Built-in self-test objectives are to reduce test pattern generation cost, reduce the volume of test data, and reduce test time.

 

27. In the data compression technique, the comparison is done on

A. test response
B. entire test data
C. data inputs
D. output sequences

Answer: A

In the data compression technique, the comparison is made on compacted test responses instead of entire test data.

 

28. Signature analysis performs

A. addition
B. multiplication
C. polynomial division
D. amplifies

Answer: C

Signature analysis performs polynomial division which is the division of data out of the device under test.

 

29. The signature analysis method can be represented mathematically as

A. R(x) = P(x) * C(x)
B. R(x) = P(x) / C(x)
C. R(x) = C(x) / P(x)
D. R(x) = C(x) * P(x)

Answer: B

The signature analysis method is represented mathematically as R(x) = P(x) / C(x) where R(x) is the signature, C(x) is characteristic polynomial.

 

30. Transition counting does the count of transition only in one specific direction at a time.

A. true
B. false

Answer: A

Transition counting does the count of transition in the specified direction (0 t0 1 or 1 to 0).
