This paper introduces the concept of hierarchical testability of data paths for delay faults. A definition of hierarchically two-pattern testable (HTPT) data path is developed. Also, a design for testability (DFT) method is presented to augment a data path to become an HTPT one. The DFT method incorporates a graph-based analysis of an HTPT data path and makes use of some graph algorithms. The proposed method can provide similar advantages to the enhanced scan approach at a much lower hardware overhead cost.
