Design for testability (DFT) works to make a circuit more testable to ensure that it was manufactured correctly. Alfred Crouch explains the purpose of DFT in his book, Design-For-Test for Digital ICs ...

When it comes to verification and validation, medical device companies need to ensure that what they're doing actually makes sense. Known colloquially as "V&V," for many it feels like you're on the ...

From my product development experiences, entering into Design Verification and Design Validation is always bittersweet. Exciting because yes, to get to Design Verification means that we have ...

Design verification has been the dominant portion of chip development for years, and the challenges grow bigger every day. Single dies continue to grow in transistor count and complexity. Advanced ...

Every product design that contains a microprocessor, circuit card, or electromechanical assembly can benefit from highly accelerated life testing (HALT) to increase the speed of development, eliminate ...

To test complex devices, test engineers must rely on the vector sets generated by verification engineers. Unfortunately, verification engineers—who work in a software simulation environment—often have ...

You have been developing FPGAs for a long time, and you know your designs from top to bottom. You know every interface protocol, configuration and optimization. You can visualize your timing diagram ...

When we talk about the signoff of digital IP, we are referring to the full verification of a block. Every feature listed in a device’s datasheet requires verification. Furthermore, every register ...
