DeFacTo Technologies announced at the International Test Conference a new DFT product that analyzes a register-transfer level (RTL) integrated-circuit design, creates appropriate RTL scan-test ...
Design for test (DFT) has been around since the 1960s. The technology was developed to reduce the cost of creating a successful test for an IC. Scan design, fault models, and automatic test pattern ...
The traditional processors designed for general-purpose applications struggle to meet the computing demands and power budgets of artificial intelligence (AI) or machine leaning (ML) applications.
HiDFT-Scan Analyzes, Implements Scan Test Structures in Register-Transfer Level Designs; Closes Historical Gap between RTL and DFT PALO ALTO, Calif.--October 22, 2007--DeFacTo Technologies today ...
To achieve higher quality on today's multimillion-gate designs and high-speed ASICs, structured DFT (design-for-test) methodologies such as scan, at-speed test, scan compression, and BIST (built-in ...
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 ...
Design for testability (DFT) works to make a circuit more testable to ensure that it was manufactured correctly. Alfred Crouch explains the purpose of DFT in his book, Design-For-Test for Digital ICs ...
For more than four decades, scan technology has somehow eluded the radar screen of the IC test industry. As test continues to evolve and make significant newsworthy changes, scan has maintained a ...
