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 & ...

The exponential growth in design sizes has rendered the traditional methods of design-for-test, layout, and timing closure no longer sufficient. Design and test engineers not only have to constantly ...

As a wide range of direct bandgap semiconductor material, aluminum nitride (AlN) has been extensively investigated due to its high piezoelectric coefficient and thermal conductivity, and excellent ...

Getting an integrated circuit (IC) from design to test is an arduous process that encompasses a number of steps, including: This is an iterative process and can take months, so every step should be ...

Scan is a structured test approach in which the overall function of an integrated circuit (IC) is broken into smaller structures and tested individually. Every state element (D flip-flop or latch) is ...

As part of system development, many industries, including the automobile industry, make substantial use of modeling and simulation to help understand system performance. Modeling and simulation ...

The proliferation of EV battery cell manufacturing plants and EV battery pack assembly plants is producing a corresponding boom in the construction of battery test labs. These are needed to verify ...
