Design for testability (DFT) works to make a circuit more testable to ensure that it was manufactured correctly. Alfred Crouch explains the purpose of DFT in his book, Design-For-Test for Digital ICs ...

Every product design that contains a microprocessor, circuit card, or electromechanical assembly can benefit from highly accelerated life testing (HALT) to increase the speed of development, eliminate ...

Design verification has been the dominant portion of chip development for years, and the challenges grow bigger every day. Single dies continue to grow in transistor count and complexity. Advanced ...

To test complex devices, test engineers must rely on the vector sets generated by verification engineers. Unfortunately, verification engineers—who work in a software simulation environment—often have ...
