The reality of DFT for large and complex SoCs has introduced new risk into design schedules. DFT teams end up in the critical path to tape out while waiting for portions of the design to be complete, ...

Cut test pattern count and DFT time with a hierarchical DFT methodology with pattern retargeting. Hierarchical DFT takes a “divide and conquers” approach, in which each core is isolated by wrapper ...

As companies strive to achieve higher quality and reliability for their products, and as package sizes and the number of available pins continue to shrink, there is also a persistent need to keep test ...
