It is well established that transition and stuck-at fault models detect the vast majority of production defects. The transition fault model focuses on detecting timing-related defects. However, the ...
Logic built-in self-test (LBIST), is a mechanism that lets an (IC) test the integrity of its own digital logic structures. LBIST operates by stimulating the logic-based operations of the IC and then ...
Both scan automated test pattern generation (ATPG) patterns and IJTAG patterns 1,2,3 are created for a piece of logic that is part of a much larger design. For both, the patterns are independent from ...
[Nicholas Murray]’s Composite Test Pattern Generator is a beautifully-made, palm-sized tool that uses an ESP32-based development board to output different test patterns in PAL/NTSC. If one is checking ...
Handling timing exception paths in ATPG tools while creating at-speed patterns has always been a tough and tricky task. It is well understood that at-speed testing is a requirement for modern ...
It’s no secret that a successful yield ramp directly impacts integrated circuit (IC) product cost and time-to-market. Tools and techniques that help companies ramp to volume faster, while also ...
CRTs don’t last forever, and neither do the electronics that drive them. When you have a screen starting to go wonky, then you need a way to troubleshoot which is at fault. A great tool for that is a ...
Artificial Intelligence has become a pervasive technology that is being applied to solve today’s complex problems, especially in the areas involving exponentially large amounts of data, their analysis ...
