Why isolated flows negatively impact design schedule and PPA. Benefits of unified DFT, synthesis, and physical design flows. Physical implementation optimization methods for test compression and scan ...

Until very recently, semiconductor design, verification, and test were separate domains. Those domains have since begun to merge, driven by rising demand for reliability, shorter market windows, and ...

With the move to advanced process technologies, concerns over device power once largely limited to specialized markets have escalated rapidly among mainstream designers. More semiconductor companies ...

Why are test points a crucial element in developing a successful circuit? Types of test points available, and the different techniques that employ them. Electronic design has always been an endeavor ...

Innovation in semiconductor development and manufacturing shows no signs of slowing down. Ever-larger chips at ever-smaller geometries create new challenges all the time. At the same time, competitive ...

Today, the design of most monolithic SoCs follows a familiar pattern. Requirements definition leads to an architectural design. Then, the design team selects and qualifies the necessary IP blocks, ...
