While the use of complex system-on-a-chip (SoC) designs has increased, unfortunately, that hasn't increased the time-to-market window for designers and chip manufacturers. As SoC designs become more ...

The Design-for-Test (DFT) methodology is a strong driving force in the cost-effective testing of large-volume commodity items with very short life cycles, like system-on-chip (SoC) devices. It will ...

BALTIMORE — The prevalence and escalating cost of system-on-chip (SoC) designs are forcing a reexamination of existing approaches to design and test, according to EDA and test industry executives at a ...

Every business, product, or process can benefit from an ROI (return-on-investment) analysis that enables management to determine how much to invest, how many resources to allocate and, ultimately, ...

From the beginning, test has been the poor stepchild of integrated circuit design, ranking somewhere below verification in status, attention and resources. In many organizations test is considered not ...

Test throughout is inversely proportional to test time, which scales with the size of the test-vector set you need to test your chip. The higher the test-vector count, the longer the test time and ...

Despite the generally low utilization in the present semiconductor industry, Agilent Technologies has seen not only its upstream clients keep buying products, but also its SoC (system-on-chip) testing ...
