An anchoring system secures a catheter to the body of a patient and arrests axial movement of the catheter without meaningfully impairing fluid flow through the catheter. The anchoring system includes an anchor pad that adheres to the patient's skin and supports a retainer. The retainer releasably receives a portion of the catheter and includes one or more retention mechanisms. The retention mechanisms inhibit axial movement of the catheter relative to the retainer when the catheter is secured therein. In one mode, the retention mechanism is positioned within a channel of the retainer and includes at least first and second members that project from opposite sides of the channel. The members are arranged to cooperate with one another when the cover is closed so as to capture a structural portion of the catheter between the first and second members without substantially occluding an inner lumen of the catheter.

At-speed strategies for testing high speed designs on slower testers. At-speed testing schemes is provided that integrates the tester's speed limitations with the test generation process. Due to constraints placed at the test generation process, these schemes might result in a reduced fault coverage. To increase the fault coverage and reduce the test application time, the slow-fast-slow and at-speed strategies can be combined for testing high speed designs on slower testers.

Deterministic ATPG test coverage is provided in a logic BIST architecture while reducing test application time and test data volume, as compared to deterministic ATPG patterns. The logic BIST architecture can include a PRPG shadow operatively coupled to a PRPG circuit. The PRPG shadow allows re-seeding of the PRPG circuit with zero cycle overhead. Two compressions can be provided. In a first compression, multiple tests for faults are compressed into one pattern. In a second compression, multiple deterministic ATPG patterns can be compressed into one seed. All patterns provided from the PRPG can be controlled by these seeds so that all care bits are properly set, while all other scan cells are set to pseudo-random values from the PRPG. In this manner, the PRPG can rapidly deliver highly pertinent data to the scan chains of the device under test.

Methods and devices for using high-speed serial links for scan testing are disclosed. The methods can work with any scheme of scan data compression or with uncompressed scan testing.

In various implementations, the SerDes (Serializer / Deserializer) may be shared with other applications. The Aurora Protocol may be used to transport industry standard protocols. To compensate for effects of asynchronous operation of a conventional high-speed serial link, buffers may be used. The high-speed serial interface may use a data conversion block to drive test cores.
