DFT

SEMICON West showed a distinct thematic shift away from preserving Moore's Law to assessing the architectural implications of AI, as EDA was brought into the event.

Hierarchical DFT for Arm-based SoCs is easier than ever with the arrival of a complete reference flow from Mentor and Arm.

Part two of this feature describes three use-cases that exploit the VirtuaLAB technology in HDMI, PCIe and Ethernet designs.

This two-part article describes advantages when using a hardware emulation platform in virtual mode compared with in-circuit-emulation.

Portable Stimulus allows reuse along horizontal, vertical and technique axes, but you need to be aware of the strengths and weaknesses of each to get the greatest benefits.

This defect and fault injection primer looks at how to standardize definitions, decide injection volume, measure activity, manage simulation, optimize test time and more.

A hierarchical methodology removes DFT from the critical path for large designs. The methodology is compatible with other techniques such as channel sharing, which can further reduce ATPG turn-around time and test cost.

A new version of the automotive safety standard arrives later this year. Review the main updates and see how it will combine with the incoming SOTIF autonomous driving standard.

The assumption has been that extra security eats into profit margins. But with some lateral thinking it can actually improve the bottom line.

Diagnosis-driven yield analysis identifies the cause of systematic yield loss to speed the ramp-to-volume on new processes and improve yield on mature ones.
