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 ...

Asset InterTech has announced its DFT Analyzer, which according to the company reduces manufacturing and test costs by validating the boundary-scan design-for-test features in a circuit-board design ...

Design for Test (DFT) managers often must make difficult and sometimes costly trade-offs between test implementation effort and manufacturing test cost. The traditional method for evaluating these ...

Design-for-test, or DFT, should facilitate high-quality test, not change the design. Test techniques and strategies need to supply a high-quality test that screens out defective devices, avoiding ...

These days, due to the ever increasing complexity of devices and the demand for better product quality, it is vital that ICs are tested as quickly and as efficiently as possible. Test engineers are ...

Test firm intros DFT systemNews from E-InSiteTeseda, an IC-test equipment startup from Portland, Oregon, has introduced the Teseda Validator 500, which it claims is the first design-for-test (DFT) ...

BALTIMORE — The marriage of design-for-test (DFT) software with test hardware may drastically lower the cost of test, according to several companies that will present their plans at this week's ...

What if all the DFT verification on your next big chip could be completed before tape-out? This “shift-left” of DFT verification would eliminate the need for shortcuts in verification and allow for ...

Bus-based scan data distribution architecture enables true bottom-up DFT flows, writes Geir Eide of Siemens Digital Industries Software. The dramatic rise in manufacturing test time for today’s large ...

Objective: This study was designed to test defibrillation threshold (DFT) with the least number of fibrillation inductions using upper limit of vulnerability (ULV) and to describe the most practical ...
