It is said that the best design solutions are often found when a project comes with a very strict set of parameters. So it makes sense that architectural games, with their coded restrictions and rigid ...

Design-for-test, or DFT, should facilitate high-quality test, not change the design. Test techniques and strategies need to supply a high-quality test that screens out defective devices, avoiding ...

Hierarchical test methodologies are being broadly adopted for large designs. They provide roughly an order of magnitude better ATPG (automatic test program generation) run time, reduce workstation ...

Techniques that reduce the difficulty and cost associated with testing an integrated circuit. This can result in a decrease in the time spent on a tester, a decrease in cost associated with generating ...

Logic built-in self-test (LBIST), is a mechanism that lets an (IC) test the integrity of its own digital logic structures. LBIST operates by stimulating the logic-based operations of the IC and then ...

WASHINGTON — A U.S.-Japanese industrial team has finalized the design of the largest planned member of the Standard Missile (SM)-3 interceptor family and is on track to begin flight testing in 2015, ...

NASA’s SLS (Space Launch System) program is preparing to serve its role in the agency’s first human spaceflight mission to the moon in nearly 50 years–Artemis 1. After completing a DCR (Design ...

To ensure the accuracy of hardness test outcomes, it is imperative to validate the precision of the hardness tester. Different hardness testing standards have varied frequencies for calibration checks ...
