The wrap-under lead capacitors, commonly called plastic molded tantalum capacitors, have leads instead of terminations and a beveled top as a polarity indicator. There are no soldering or placement concerns when using the molded plastic tantalum capacitors. They are available in two case sizes – s...
1. A method of discriminating between different types of scan failures, comprising: simulating a scan enable signal to a circuit represented by a netlist corresponding to a scan chain coupled to combinatorial logic being tested; simulating initiation of a data capture cycle in the netlist correspondi...
