[Nicholas Murray]’s Composite Test Pattern Generator is a beautifully-made, palm-sized tool that uses an ESP32-based development board to output different test patterns in PAL/NTSC. If one is checking ...

Success in the electronics business hinges on producing high-quality products and using the most cost-effective methods to do so. As the number of devices on integrated circuits continues to double ...

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 ability to create and choose the most effective test patterns has become more daunting as more patterns are introduced, says Ron Press of Siemens Digital Industries. Choosing the most efficient ...

Testing digital designs usually requires one or more digital signals, some of which can be very difficult to generate. Pattern generators are specifically designed to address this problem. Whatever ...

To compete in the fast-growing market for automotive ICs, semiconductor companies need to address new challenges across the entire design flow. To meet the ISO 26262 goal of zero defective parts per ...
