As IC design sizes continue to double every 18 to 24 months, those charged with testing the finished product are challenged on multiple fronts. Test-data volume and testing time are expanding, while ...

One of the easiest ways to test an engine's health is by checking its compression. Testing compression isn't something the average muscle car owner would do every year, but it is a useful tool to ...

The trend in semiconductors leads to more IC test data volume, longer test times, and higher test costs. Embedded deterministic test (EDT) has continued to deliver more compression, which has been ...

Taking an engine compression test is sort of like checking your car's blood pressure. It's a quick and painless procedure ...

Integrated circuit complexity and integration continuously advances, posing challenges to the development process. Market profitability, however, demands that products be designed and produced as fast ...

The ability to control test cost while design sizes have grown exponentially is a success story that relies on the invention and continuous improvement of embedded test compression. One way test ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. I have been working on my own vehicles for almost 40 years and in that time have accumulated a sizable collection of tools. The bulk of them ...

A complete test plan includes testing the logic and all memories. That is, until the boss adds, “Oh, by the way, the DFT guy left the company, so you also get to do the test stuff. Choose any tools ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. When used for material comparisons, notched testing is typically performed using a quasi-isotropic composite laminate, consisting of equal numbers of 0°, 45°, ...

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, ...
