Design automation is the key to the development of very large ICs. Optimizing the connection and layout of millions of gates to efficiently perform complex functions is not a job to which humans are ...

Test compression sounds like magic. Read on to learn how this trick is done. Large, complex ICs are viable because their design meets test as well as functional requirements. Design for test (DFT) was ...

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Synopsys Inc. is entering the logic built-in, self test (BIST) market this week with a tool named DFT Compiler SoCBIST, which will reduce both tester time and data volume, the ...

Synopsys chose the International Test Conference to announcean expansion of its synthesis-based test technology and announced the availabilityof its DesignWare STAR ECC (self test and repair ...
