September 11, 2013. Synopsys Inc. has announced the availability of its DesignWare STAR Hierarchical System, an automated hierarchical test solution for efficiently testing SoCs, including ...
The rapidly shrinking process geometry is a double-edged sword. It allows unprecedented integration of circuits. But it also produces leakier transistors, which is one of the main reasons behind the ...
The use of hierarchical DFT methods is growing as design size and complexity stresses memory requirements and design schedules. Hierarchical DFT divides the design into smaller pieces, creates test ...
Block: Representing a level of hierarchy below the top level of a chip, blocks comprise silicon cores and groups of abutted standard cells (a macro block) that constitute some function. EDA tools ...
