My colleagues from Mentor Graphics, Ron Press, Martin Keim, and I often write about various aspects of digital IC test. If you started following the Test Voices blog when it was part of Test & ...

Getting an integrated circuit (IC) from design to test is an arduous process that encompasses a number of steps, including: This is an iterative process and can take months, so every step should be ...

The exponential growth in design sizes has rendered the traditional methods of design-for-test, layout, and timing closure no longer sufficient. Design and test engineers not only have to constantly ...

Why are test points a crucial element in developing a successful circuit? Types of test points available, and the different techniques that employ them. Electronic design has always been an endeavor ...

The size of designs continues to grow and IC manufacturers are pushing for higher test quality, especially in mission-critical applications such as transportation and medicine. More advanced nodes ...

As part of system development, many industries, including the automobile industry, make substantial use of modeling and simulation to help understand system performance. Modeling and simulation ...
