BIST

Learn how the latest design for test innovations deliver efficiency and profitability across the design flow.

Behind the drivers for memory BIST innovation in areas such as power-on self-test, destructive and non-destructive techniques, and faster memory repair.

Scan chains help you test complex chip designs. But how do you test the scan chains themselves when they go wrong?

The inherent complexity of today’s system-on-chips, with their multiple clock and voltage domains, requires test considerations to be moved further up design flows. The article describes strategies for and benefits from apply test before RTL goes through synthesis, augmenting what is already achieved through memory built-in self test and automatic test pattern generation.
