Improving Test Coverage And Eliminating Test Escapes Using Analog Defect Analysis
By Cadence - 13 Jun, 2018 - Comments: 0

While the analog and mixed-signal components are the leading source of test escapes that result in field failures, the lack of tools to analyze the test coverage during design has made it difficult for designers to address the issue. In this white paper, we explore the methodology for performing analog fault simulation of test coverage based on defect-oriented testing. In addition, we look at h... » read more

Putting “Design” Back Into Design For Test In PCB Products
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 11 Jun, 2018 - Comments: 0

Design for manufacturing (DFM) has become a proactive part of the design process, but the same cannot be said for DFT. Whereas “left-shifting” DFM has reduced manufacturing problems, increased yield, reduced scrap levels, and simplified engineering rework, testability-related improvements have stayed flat during that same time. Unfortunately, as assembly costs have come down, and test-relat... » read more

DO-254: Increasing Verification Coverage By Test
By Aldec - 21 Mar, 2018 - Comments: 0

Verification coverage by test is essential to satisfying both the objectives of DO-254 and interpretation in FAA Oder 8110.105. However, verification of requirements by test during final board testing is challenging and time-consuming in most cases. This white paper explains the reasons behind these challenges and provides recommendations for how to overcome them. The recommendations center ... » read more

What’s In The Package?
By Ed Sperling - 05 Feb, 2018 - Comments: 0

Putting a variety of chips or hardened IP blocks into a package rather than trying to cram them into a single chip continues to gain ground. But it's also creating its own set of issues around verifying and testing these devices. This problem is well understood inside of SoCs, where everything is integrated into a single die. And looked at from a 30,000-foot perspective, packaging is someth... » read more

Test Innovations For ISO 26262
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 05 Feb, 2018 - Comments: 0

We are witnessing the gradual transition of the automobile from a simple means of transportation to a mobile electronic hub. The amount of electronic content in passenger cars continues to grow rapidly. Recent reports indicate that electronics now contribute about 40% of the total costs of a traditional internal-combustion-engine car, and this jumps as high as 75% for the growing number of elec... » read more

Achieving ISO 26262 Software Tool Confidence For Improved Automotive Functional Safety
By Synopsys - 24 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

Achieving ISO 26262 Software Tool Confidence for Improved Automotive Functional Safety The rapid adoption of advanced electronic systems in automobiles has prompted the automotive industry to develop the ISO 26262 functional safety standard to address the potential risks associated with failures in these systems. ISO 26262 is derived from the more general IEC 61508 standard and defines requirem... » read more
