Thanks to the TestInsight tools our production test team and our VLSI team were able to be more prepared. We used the tools to feedback EVCD patterns through our RTL simulation and correct logic/timing/tester resource errors in the pre-silicon stage. We were also able to generate STIL and ...

The proposed architecture is based on the use of redundant transistors in memory elements of the chip. Redundant transistors are added in a way which enables the memory elements to recover the stored value in the case of bit flip error occurrence in both test and normal modes of operation. ...
Review the effects of application software on power requirements. With many aspects of connection management hinging on the application software, it is wise to take stock of the various modes because of the major effect they will have on average current. ...
Serializer, deserializer, and/or serdes ICs are configured to support one or more test modes to enable end-to-end testing in communication links in which the ICs are implemented. To support the end-to-end testing, the ICs can include a multiplexing stage with means for deterministically mappin...
or the number of components is between 100-1000; Large-scale integrated circuits contain more than 100 gate circuits, or the number of components is more than 1,000; very large-scale integrated circuits contain more than 10,000 gate circuits; VLSI contains more than 100,000 gate circuits. It...

It also provided support for certification and validated the correct performance of both the physical and functional interfaces in the electrical and electronic systems during concurrent operation of ...
In general these methods have two modes, direct mode and "what-if" mode. In the direct mode the simulator 300 uses the assembly and test processes, selected by the user, to perform the simulation and deliver the outputs back to the user for further use in improving the DFT and DFM of ...
