For more than four decades, scan technology has somehow eluded the radar screen of the IC test industry. As test continues to evolve and make significant newsworthy changes, scan has maintained a ...
My colleagues from Mentor Graphics, Ron Press, Martin Keim, and I often write about various aspects of digital IC test. If you started following the Test Voices blog when it was part of Test & ...
In recent years, boundary scan has transformed itself. JTAG started more than a decade ago as a simple structural interconnect test technology. It now is a foundational embedded infrastructure capable ...
Boundry-scan testing (IEEE1149.1/JTAG) is a novel procedure for some test engineers and technicians. But ScanWorks Interconnect Development Station version 3.4 from Asset Intertech should ease their ...
The VLSI design cycle is partitioned into two phases i.e. front-end and back-end phases of the complete SoC design cycle. While at front-end, most of the architectural specifications, coding and ...
In the real world, we are slaves to our environment. The decisions we make are dependent on the resources available at any given time. In school, I remember coming up with a binary decision diagram ...
Designing the right scan path, and laser intensity along that path, is key to turning out quality metal parts using laser powder-bed fusion. The most popular 3D printing process for making metal parts ...
