DFT Tools Looking Good

It used to be that just designing the semiconductor circuit was all design engineers really needed to worry about. Once all the specified functionality was designed in and verified, the design ...

DFT Propels SoC IC Testing

The Design-for-Test (DFT) methodology is a strong driving force in the cost-effective testing of large-volume commodity items with very short life cycles, like system-on-chip (SoC) devices. It will ...
