Design-for-test, or DFT, should facilitate high-quality test, not change the design. Test techniques and strategies need to supply a high-quality test that screens out defective devices, avoiding ...
Understanding connectivity issues and interactions are only part of the problem; ECOs can cause unexpected problems in other ...
Why isolated flows negatively impact design schedule and PPA. Benefits of unified DFT, synthesis, and physical design flows. Physical implementation optimization methods for test compression and scan ...
In the IC design flow, design-for-test is often an afterthought. First, the design is coded, then simulated, then synthesized, and only after all that – usually months into the design cycle – it's ...
BALTIMORE — Design-for-test (DFT) is no longer just a subject for debate and International Test Conference (ITC) papers as the automated test equipment (ATE) industry begins to respond with more than ...
In today’s highly competitive semiconductor industry, chip-design companies strive for competitive advantages by optimizing designs for PPA (Power, Performance, Area). Along with the functional logic, ...
Acquisition integrates advanced "shift-left" Design for Test (DFT) functionality into Siemens' Xpedition and Valor portfolios ...
