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 ...

Why isolated flows negatively impact design schedule and PPA. Benefits of unified DFT, synthesis, and physical design flows. Physical implementation optimization methods for test compression and scan ...

Many IC designers finally have embraced design for testability (DFT) in the form of scan insertion for digital circuit designs because of the significant time-to-production advantages these techniques ...
