The V500 DFT-focused engineering test system includes new features and options for a wider range of applications. It includes optional support for delay (ac) scan to 30 MHz; I DDQ test methodologies; ...

In today’s fast growing Systems-on-Chip (SoC), incomplete or ineffective DFT support due to poor specification or loose design practices can quickly become the critical path to making market windows ...

To understand the importance of the discovery of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) on the modern computing age, it's first necessary to understand the purpose of the discrete Fourier Transform (DFT).

What is CTL, and why is it important to the semiconductor industry? The answers are here. Although the IEEE 1450.0 Stand-ard Test Interface Language (STIL) was adopted in March 1999, widespread ...

A proven method to simplify a complex problem is to break it into smaller chunks. In the case of today’s large, complex SoCs, this means using hierarchical methods to design the blocks, then combine ...

One significant design challenge for today’s SoCs is managing the impact of the very large design size on EDA tools and flows. Front-end and back-end design flows have managed this challenge by ...
