A compression test is to determine how much pressure the engine makes, and a leakdown test measures its ability to hold pressure.

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 ...

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 ...

Embedded test compression helps, but using VersaPoint test point technology results in 46X compression ration over what is possible with Tessent TestKompress alone. To read more, click here.

Scan compression technology seems to have emerged at just the right time, offering designers the promise of reducing tester costs with only negligible impact on design performance, silicon overhead ...
