Abstract
A method for deciding a scan clock domain allocation of an integrated circuit includes: utilizing a circuit netlist file and a timing constraints file of the integrated circuit to find out the amount of crossing paths between any two function clock domains of a plurality of function clock domains, and generate a clock domain report file; and grouping the plurality of function clock domains and allocating the plurality of function clock domains after being grouped into a plurality of scan clock domains according to the clock domain report file.
