A prototype MCU test chip with a 10.8 Mbit magnetoresistive random-access memory (MRAM) memory cell array—fabricated on a 22-nm embedded MRAM process—claims to accomplish a random read access ...

Sir, Failures in the recent Bank of England stress tests show how critical bank capital plans will be in the event of a further economic shock. Although their 2015 results showed that banks had higher ...

When asked, many engineers will say that the goal of a test plan for a PCB is full or 100% test coverage. When pressed further, they usually admit that 100% test coverage is virtually impossible to ...
