Design for Test (DFT) managers often must make difficult and sometimes costly trade-offs between test implementation effort and manufacturing test cost. The traditional method for evaluating these ...

The reality of DFT for large and complex SoCs has introduced new risk into design schedules. DFT teams end up in the critical path to tape out while waiting for portions of the design to be complete, ...

Cut test pattern count and DFT time with a hierarchical DFT methodology with pattern retargeting. Hierarchical DFT takes a “divide and conquers” approach, in which each core is isolated by wrapper ...
