Three Views on Verification Challenges
Chip Design Magazine

The objective of functional verification is to ensure that the design operates correctly for all possible functional scenarios. This requires us to define what all of the possible scenarios are. Read More...


Power-Intent Standards Vie for Designers' Loyalties
Electronic Design

About three years ago, timing closure for large system-on-a-chip (SoC) designs began to develop into one huge headache. Every EDA vendor’s toolset had its own interpretation of timing constraints, and there was little or no consistency between those representations. Read More...


An RTL Solution to Test Integration Challenges
SCDsource

Design-for-test (DFT) often involves the integration of a test controller to control the test modes for testing a complete system-on-chip (SoC) design or the sub-chip components. Test modes are implemented to accommodate different manufacturing test strategies such as stuck-at test, at-speed test, memory built-in self test (BIST) and boundary scan. DFT design verification at the SoC level also involves satisfying the block-level DFT requirements at the chip level.

Workshop on SpyGlass®-DFT Solution

This workshop demonstrates the testability analysis capabilities of SpyGlass-DFT to be used in the RTL hand-off process, using a combination of design methodology templates and interactive debugging available within SpyGlass. It explains how the fault-coverage can be enhanced based on the recommendations from SpyGlass-DFT. Click here to register for the training.
