Integrated circuit complexity and integration continuously advances, posing challenges to the development process. Market profitability, however, demands that products be designed and produced as fast ...
Design for test (DFT) has been around since the 1960s. The technology was developed to reduce the cost of creating a successful test for an IC. Scan design, fault models, and automatic test pattern ...
Despite its standardization as IEEE 1149.1 in 1990 and wide use in the industry, many test engineers and developers still do not fully understand the benefits of boundary scan test. The misconceptions ...
My colleagues from Mentor Graphics, Ron Press, Martin Keim, and I often write about various aspects of digital IC test. If you started following the Test Voices blog when it was part of Test & ...
Description: Discusses different aspects of VLSI testing and formal verification of designs. Design and manufacturing defect models are introduced along with test generation and fault simulation ...
