Fault simulation, one of the oldest tools in the EDA industry toolbox, is receiving a serious facelift after it almost faded from existence. In the early days, fault simulation was used to grade the ...

The growth in safety-critical applications has ushered in a paradigm shift in automotive IC functional safety and test coverage analysis. The increased need for safety, low defect rate, and long-term ...

Analog fault simulation in mixed‐signal circuits is a critical tool for ensuring the robustness and reliability of systems that integrate both analogue and digital components. This field addresses the ...

In electronics engineering, a fault simulator predicts what will happen to a circuit when a component malfunctions, without having to actually install a bad component in the circuit. DPFS (DevPartner ...

Designs with LogicBIST exhibit random pattern resistance because of the random nature of LBIST vectors, thus leading to low fault coverage. To handle this, we insert test points with the help of ...

This is the second part of a two-part discussion (Part 1 appeared in August) in which the author considers fault-coverage analysis and simulation for full-scan testing of ASIC designs. These elements ...

Value stream management involves people in the organization to examine workflows and other processes to ensure they are deriving the maximum value from their efforts while eliminating waste — of ...
