Historically, testability is an afterthought in the design process. But heightening complexity of chip designs, and especially SoCs, forces testability (and manufacturability) to take a more central ...
Design patents and utility patents are two different things. Design patents protect ornamental designs, such as the shape of a perfume bottle or the design on flatware. Utility patents protect four ...
Design-for-test, or DFT, should facilitate high-quality test, not change the design. Test techniques and strategies need to supply a high-quality test that screens out defective devices, avoiding ...
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 ...
In today’s highly competitive semiconductor industry, chip-design companies strive for competitive advantages by optimizing designs for PPA (Power, Performance, Area). Along with the functional logic, ...
Connected devices and systems have become an integral part of our everyday life and we take this for granted. Finding the fastest way to our destination with a smartphone, reading the news on a tablet ...
NAVAIR University’s College of Test & Evaluation recently began teaching a newly developed course on mission-based test design, or MBTD. Designed to enable capabilities-based test and evaluation, MBTD ...
