About a dozen years ago, the world of test had reached an economic impasse: most digital designs had become sufficiently complex that standard scan testing techniques were no longer cost-effective.

PARIS – Silicon Image Inc. announced it has licensed Synopsys' DFTMAX compression, an integral part of the Galaxy Implementation Platform, to reduce manufacturing test cost and time. Silicon Image ...

One of the easiest ways to test an engine's health is by checking its compression. Testing compression isn't something the average muscle car owner would do every year, but it is a useful tool to ...

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 ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. I have been working on my own vehicles for almost 40 years and in that time have accumulated a sizable collection of tools. The bulk of them ...

Integrated circuit (IC) sizes continue to grow as they meet the compute requirements of cutting-edge applications such as artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous driving, and data centers. As design ...

Small geometries have projected IC technology into an era where test has become a crucial part in the chip design process and have introduced new challenges needing solutions that use already ...

Compression testing is used to determine how a product or material reacts when it is compressed, squashed, crushed or flattened by measuring fundamental parameters that determine the specimen behavior ...

TinyPNG is probably the most useful and easy-to-use online image size reducer that can compress up to 20 images at a time. However, the maximum file size is 5 MB. Talking about the image format, you ...

In today’s highly competitive semiconductor industry, chip-design companies strive for competitive advantages by optimizing designs for PPA (Power, Performance, Area). Along with the functional logic, ...
