Renesas Reduces Cost, Improves Quality with Mentor Graphics Hybrid TestKompress/LogicBIST Solution
Mentor Graphics Corp today announced that Renesas Electronics is using the Tessent Hybrid TestKompress/LogicBIST solution to address safety critical test requirements defined by the ISO 26262 standard. The hybrid technique requires significantly less test logic to provide a complete solution including both high-compression scan test for low defects per million (DPM), and built-in self-test (BIST). Mentor’s hybrid test capability is ideal fo...
Synopsys Announces DFTMAX Ultra to Significantly Reduce Silicon Test Costs
Synopsys Inc today announced its DFTMAX Ultra product, part of Synopsys' synthesis-based test solution, that significantly reduces silicon test cost.
