N2 - A novel testability architecture has been developed for a mixed-signal VLSIC which has a functional architecture consisting of a microprocessor core, RF transceiver, and two voltage regulators. It permits a decoupling of analog/RF, digital, and power systems for individual stimulation and analysis. Testing may be performed at the subsystem or block level, and traditional scan techniques are augmented to allow mixed static and dynamic test. This approach aids in identifying any detrimental interaction between individual subsystems by providing isolated between the circuit-under-test and idle circuits.
