About a dozen years ago, the world of test had reached an economic impasse: most digital designs had become sufficiently complex that standard scan testing techniques were no longer cost-effective.

PARIS – Silicon Image Inc. announced it has licensed Synopsys' DFTMAX compression, an integral part of the Galaxy Implementation Platform, to reduce manufacturing test cost and time. Silicon Image ...

One of the easiest ways to test an engine's health is by checking its compression. Testing compression isn't something the average muscle car owner would do every year, but it is a useful tool to ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. I have been working on my own vehicles for almost 40 years and in that time have accumulated a sizable collection of tools. The bulk of them ...

Test compression sounds like magic. Read on to learn how this trick is done. Large, complex ICs are viable because their design meets test as well as functional requirements. Design for test (DFT) was ...

The latest version of Mentor Graphics' TestKompress compression and ATPG generation tool brings significant enhancements in functionality and productivity. One of the most time-consuming aspects of ...

Until the mid-1970s, compression testing of composite materials received relatively little attention. Up to that point it, had generally been assumed that the compressive stiffness was approximately ...
