What is IEEE 1500 Wrapper Insertion Flow in Genus Synthesis Solution

Are you searching for a scalable standard architecture for enabling test reuse and integration for embedded cores and associated circuitry?

Are you looking for a standard that addresses testing strategies for the digital aspects of core designs within a System-on-Chip (SoC)?

If the answer is yes, Cadence has you covered with our IEEE 1500 Wrapper Insertion Flow in Genus Synthesis Solution.

The IEEE 1500 standard provides a standard interface to create an isolation boundary between a core to be tested and the logic external to the core. The isolation boundary consists of wrapper cells which are inserted for each functional input and output port on the core.

Genus-DFT builds the Wrapper Boundary Registers (WBRs) and the logic consisting of the 1500 controller for the serial and parallel interface protocols. Per the 1500 standard, the wrapper serial ports are mandatory while the wrapper parallel ports are optional.

Two main different wrapper cell types are supported, and the 1500 wrapper architecture can operate in three types of modes.

If all of the above sounds interesting, follow us with the material below to find out the details of the IEEE 1500 standard and how you can easily and effortlessly insert this Core-Wrapper logic into your synthesis flow with Genus Synthesis Solution.
