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 ...

Until very recently, semiconductor design, verification, and test were separate domains. Those domains have since begun to merge, driven by rising demand for reliability, shorter market windows, and ...

While the disciplines of functional verification and test serve different purposes, their histories were once closely intertwined. Recent safety and security monitoring requirements coupled with ...

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 ...

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 ...
