Hi,
With scan_mode sdc, how the clock balancing is done in Physical Design?
Because, there might be different functional blocks running with different frequencies in a chip and the at-speed clock will be the highest frequency clock.
My discussion points are,
1. During capture mode, low frequency domains are still trying to meet with at-speed(high frequency clock) clock. Does this over constrain that functional block?
2. Or, there will be different at-speed test clock frequencies for each domains running with different frequencies.
3. If that is the cause, DFT at-speed testing is done independently for each domain? or multiple frequencies are used to take care CDC(clock domain crossing).
4. In a design, a single scan chain can be used to stitch flip-flops running with different frequencies?
Thanks,
Eden
