Objective:- To synthesize 4x4 sequencial multiplier on cadence tool.


Aim:Step1:- Design of 4x4 sequencial multiplier.
Step2:- Simulation and synthesis 4x4 sequencial multiplier.
Step3:- Optimization of design and scan chain insertion.
Description :-

Cadence tool is used for simulation and synthesis. Hardware is


obtained from RTL design code and is optimize by imposing
constraint. In order to enable testing mode scan chain is inserted in
design. Scan chain insertion implies normal flip-flops in circuit are
replaced with special type of flip flops called scan flip flop. This
insertion results in increase in controllability and observability at
internal nodes of circuits. Testing is performed through this inserted
scan chain which covers most of the single faults. Scan chain is
mostly multiplexer based logic.
Advantages of scan chain
Reduce test time as compared to ad-hoc method.
High fault coverage is guaranteed.
Compatibility to modern designs comprehensive support
provided by existing design automation tools.
Disadvantages of scan chain
Performance degradation.
Area overhead.
Long test application time.
Not applicable to all design.
High power dissipation during test time.
