Rethinking RTL DFT: A Discrete RTL Flow for Parallel DFT Integration

Shift-left DFT methodologies enable early insertion of test logic at the RTL stage, but conventional flows rely on DFT EDA tools to directly insert CODECs, TDRs, MBIST, scan routers, pin multiplexing, boundary scan, and TAP controllers into design RTL, enforcing serial workflows between design and DFT teams, resulting...
