What was once an advanced engineering technique is now ubiquitous. Learn how to mix compressed and uncompressed signals to fatten up your sounds When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

Small geometries have projected IC technology into an era where test has become a crucial part in the chip design process and have introduced new challenges needing solutions that use already ...

The standard approach for testing IC logic is the use of scan chains, with embedded compression as the standard approach for applying scan patterns. Embedded compression enables the same test quality ...

Embedded test compression is a standard technique for dramatically reducing the test data volume and test time on the automatic test equipment. Companies typically aim for 60x to 100x compression for ...

Since the 1960’s, digital IC testing has transitioned from the use of functional verification tests to structural tests, which relied on having design flip-flops (FF) configured into a shift register ...

With advanced technology nodes, the SoCs are growing in density and gate count. This creates challenges regarding the testability, and more importantly, the test cost. The design complexity and size ...
