Embedding test and measurement instrumentation on chips is not new; it’s been going on for years. What is new is how these instruments can be deployed beyond their original, limited, chip-specific ...

Companies specializing in circuit board and system design-for-test (DFT) tools are pursuing a variety of strategies to serve test and debug applications based on innovations they announced over the ...

Two companies have joined forces to optimize quality, integrity, post-programming validation, and cost for embedded test of reprogrammable logic cores. The increasing complexity of system-on-a-chip ...

As process technologies continue to shrink and memory size and design complexity grow, it has become increasingly difficult to achieve high manufacturing yield. Embedded memories are the most dense ...

Advances in very deep-submicron process technology require corresponding investments in design and test. Design infrastructure enabling the achievements of advanced design capability is well ...

Embedded script processors and embedded software allow for control of an instrument’s operation locally, rather than running a control program on an external PC and simplifies the process of creating ...

The functionality of embedded systems is becoming more and more sophisticated, and their real-time operation makes the debugging and verification of such systems extremely difficult to do in a ...

Applications such as smart cards and devices used in the defense industry require security features to ensure that sensitive data is inaccessible to outside agents. This used to be a niche requirement ...

We’ve got embedded test, now what?Jeff ChappellThe semiconductor industry no longer needs to be persuaded to utilise design for test (DFT) and embedded test techniques; now it wants to know what else ...

Applications like as smart cards and devices used in the defense industry require security to ensure that sensitive data is inaccessible to outside agents. This used to be a niche requirement met ...
