To keep up with time-to-market demands when SoCs keep increasing in size and complexity requires the adoption of better DFT flows and technologies. One of the most successful changes in ...

What if all the DFT verification on your next big chip could be completed before tape-out? This “shift-left” of DFT verification would eliminate the need for shortcuts in verification and allow for ...

Fort Worth, TX. Designs keep scaling and taking on a lot of complexity, according to Ron Press, technology enablement director at Mentor Graphics. Delivering a corporate presentation Wednesday on the ...

Reading Dan Strassberg’s 1988 article “Pioneering engineers begin to adopt board-level automatic test generation” (PDF) made me realize that there are two DFT-related rules for success that are as ...

Many IC designers finally have embraced design for testability (DFT) in the form of scan insertion for digital circuit designs because of the significant time-to-production advantages these techniques ...
