Karen Thangam Jacob, K.s.ganesh Kumar, B.manjurathi . Selective Compression Technique using Variable-to-Fixed and Fixed-to-Variable Codes. International Journal of Computer Applications. 89, 13 ( March 2014), 28-34. DOI=10.5120/15692-4570
Ìn this paper, we propose two code based techniques: Variable-to-Fixed codes and Fixed-to-Variable codes for power efficient test data compression. The proposed scheme with the aim of achieving high compression ratio and low power consumption relies on reducing, the number of bits for representing the original test vector and the number of transitions per second. Simulation results on ISCAS'89 benchmarks demonstrate that this optimization methodology helps achieve reduced test data volume and power than previous schemes for cases where the number of specified bits in the test set is relatively few.
