With scaling technology and increasing design sizes, power consumption during test and test data volume have grown dramatically &#8212 making it almost impossible to test an entire design once it ...
Design for Test (DFT) managers often must make difficult and sometimes costly trade-offs between test implementation effort and manufacturing test cost. The traditional method for evaluating these ...
About a dozen years ago, the world of test had reached an economic impasse: most digital designs had become sufficiently complex that standard scan testing techniques were no longer cost-effective.
HiDFT-Scan Analyzes, Implements Scan Test Structures in Register-Transfer Level Designs; Closes Historical Gap between RTL and DFT PALO ALTO, Calif.--October 22, 2007--DeFacTo Technologies today ...
Over the last twenty years, structural testing with scan chains has become pervasive in chip design methodology. Indeed, it’s remarkable to think that most electronic devices we interact with today ...
Moore’s law has been the standard reference for semiconductor scaling. It roughly says that semiconductor design sizes, fueled by technology improvements, double every two years. Consequentially, the ...
Design automation is the key to the development of very large ICs. Optimizing the connection and layout of millions of gates to efficiently perform complex functions is not a job to which humans are ...
With scaling technology and increasing design sizes, power consumption during test and test data volume have grown dramatically - making it almost impossible to test an entire design once it reaches ...
