Abstract

Test point insertion and set/scan techniques for enhanced testability in single-flux quantum logic are discussed in this chapter. Test point insertion reduces the overhead of a set/scan chain while maintaining most of the functionality. Multiple ways of replacing costly (in terms of the number of Josephson junctions) SFQ multiplexers with mergers and blocking gates are presented. The multiplexer control signals are replaced with a gated clock signal or separate bias networks for both functional and test paths. Clocked blocking gates or current-controlled Josephson transmission line segments are used to disable undesirable data inputs. The clocked blocking gates for test point insertion in a 64-bit register require 35% fewer Josephson junctions as compared to multiplexers. This advantage further increases for current-controlled blocking gates. Set/scan chain and test point insertion techniques are applied to several SFQ circuits to evaluate the error characteristics and to provide built-in self-test of SFQ-compatible memory systems.
