Supporting Multiple Time Domains In SoC Production Test
By Hari Mani - 14 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

Complex system-on-chip (SoC) devices make every stage of the development flow harder, and the challenges continue even after the silicon is fabricated. Automatic test equipment (ATE) screening for defective wafers and assembled chips is always challenging. Production test engineers constantly struggle to minimize expensive test pattern memory, test each wafer or chip as quickly as possible, and... » read more

The Future Of Fault Coverage In Chips
By Gregory Haley - 14 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

Heterogeneous integration and sophisticated packaging are making chips more difficult to test, necessitating more versatile and efficient testing methods to minimize the time and cost it takes for each test insertion. In the past, test costs typically were limited to about 2% of the total cost of a chip. That cost has been rising in recent years, and with chiplets, advanced packaging, and mo... » read more

Cadence's Durlov Khan highlights the Octal SPI interface for serial NAND flash, which enables 8-bit wide high bandwidth synch... » read more

2024 Open Source Risk In M&A By The Numbers
By Synopsys - 08 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

Here’s what we know: Most of today’s codebases contain open source components. Vulnerabilities and licensing issues in codebases are as pervasive as open source itself. Unpatched software vulnerabilities are one of the biggest cyberthreats organizations face. Failure to comply with open source licenses can put businesses at significant risk of litigation and threat to IP. T... » read more
