Abstract

See full text

Scan chain optimization utilizing constrained single linkage clustering is disclosed. In an embodiment, a physical design tool identifies a placement of a plurality of latches in a circuit layout; generates, based on the placement, a set of latch clusters by applying constrained single-linkage agglomerative clustering to the plurality of latches; optimizes the set of latch clusters by redistributing latches across clusters; and generates a set of scan chains corresponding to the optimized set of latch clusters.
