Moving DFT into chip design with hardware emulation

Of all the electronic design automation (EDA) tools on the market, design for test (DFT) may be the most under-appreciated; even though building testability into a chip during the design phase will ...

DFT app supports hardware emulation

Design for testability (DFT), a way to build testability into an integrated circuit (IC) at the design stage to lower testing costs and increase manufacturing yield, has been around for many years in ...

Twin DFT and Mission-Critical Safety Apps for Pre-Silicon Design Verification

Combining these Apps with an emulation environment makes it possible to increase fault coverage, increase production yield, and reduce ATE test time and cost. The design-for-test (DFT) technology was ...

How are you planning to verify all that DfT?

As gate counts continue to swell at a rapid pace, modern systems-on-chip (SoCs) are increasingly integrating more design-for-testability (DfT) capabilities 1. Test and diagnosis of complex integrated ...
