This article looks at the potential impact that availability of fewer test pins has on test quality and cost, and how one company, Wolfson Microelectronics, is using new technology in Synopsys’ DFTMAX ...

By using scan, you can make the device itself responsible for some of the “test” chores, and you can shorten the time needed for automatic test pattern generation. The key to setting up a successful ...

We can accomplish this by using data from existing designs and solving a system of linear equations or using linear regression analysis. Ideally, we would have historical test cost data from prior ...

Mission-critical applications within markets such as transportation and medical devices require higher overall manufacturing test quality, but that often means more test patterns, data volume, and ...

With a simple diesel engine compression test, it is possible to spot compression problems before they get worse. Here’s information on these tests and how to decide if it is time to perform one.
