Wrapper Chains and Wrapper Cells.

Question:

I am using the core wrapper feature of the DFTMAX tool. The user guide describes
wrapper chain behavior from a high level, but it does not show detailed wrapper
chain timing diagrams or logic schematics. In detail, how do wrapper chains and
wrapper cells work?

Answer:

The following sections provide detailed timing and logic-value reference information for wrapper
chain and wrapper cell behavior:

 Simple Wrapper Flow, Normal Mode


 Simple Wrapper Flow, Inward-Facing Mode
 Simple Wrapper Flow, Outward-Facing Mode
 Simple Wrapper Flow, Safe Mode
 Maximized-Reuse Flow, Normal Mode
 Maximized-Reuse Flow, Inward-Facing Mode
 Maximized-Reuse Flow, Outward-Facing Mode
 Maximized-Reuse Flow, Safe Mode

The examples show a mix of shared and dedicated wrapper cells. The simple
wrapper flow examples use a single wrapper chain, and the maximized reuse
examples use separate input and output wrapper chains. Although safe values are
optional, all wrapper cells show safe values ​ ​ for completeness . If safe values are
not used, you can "reconstruct" the cell by simply removing the safe value mux and
its control and data signals, and pass the "0" leg of the mux on to the cfo pin of the
cell.

In the maximized reuse flow, input wrapper chains are held in scan shift during
inward-facing modes, and output wrapper chains are held in scan shift during
outward-facing modes. During transition-delay ATPG, these wrapper chains generate
transitions by shifting the opposite value into a wrapper cell from the preceding
wrapper cell.
