Left-shifting DFT, scalable tests from manufacturing to the field, enabling system-level tests for in-field debug.

The exponential growth in design sizes has rendered the traditional methods of design-for-test, layout, and timing closure no longer sufficient. Design and test engineers not only have to constantly ...

Getting an integrated circuit (IC) from design to test is an arduous process that encompasses a number of steps, including: This is an iterative process and can take months, so every step should be ...

Test compression sounds like magic. Read on to learn how this trick is done. Large, complex ICs are viable because their design meets test as well as functional requirements. Design for test (DFT) was ...

The Pester PowerShell module allows for some flexibility in how tests are written, but as Adam notes, there are still a few key points to consider. Have you ever wanted to verify that a PowerShell ...
