Hello all,
I am aware of a similar post on edaboard with this question. However I am unable to continue that thread as it is closed. Here I am asking the similar question.
Will ATPG tool be able to generate patterns which simulate false paths and multi-cycle paths? I am sure false paths will not be accessible by any means. How do we account for this coverage loss? Should we manually exclude them from fault universe? How about MCPs? I believe sequential ATPG will be able to shoot through single cycled paths with non-scan cells. So seq ATPG will not be able to cover them.
Thanks,
