Homegrown Tools and Equipment versus EDA and ATE Vendors: The Future of Design to Test Product Lines
نویسنده
چکیده
The escalation in test cost has been given a great deal of attention recently and several approaches have been pursued to alter test strategy to lower cost of test. The large independent device manufacturers are replacing the requirement for every increasing frequency, accuracy and pin count in their ATE equipment with design-for-test (DFT) solutions. This approach may be successful for high volume products but it does not solve the cost problem for the industry.

Case Study - Using STIL as Test Pattern Language
This paper describes the implementation of a test pattern language using STIL [l], the IEEE Standard Test Interface Language (1450-1999), in a next generation, open architecture Automated Test Equipment (ATE) platform. The advantages of this approach in extensibility and easy interface with Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools for the ATE user arepresented. Some challenges of using STIL as ...
متن کاملSIA Roadmap: test must not limit future technologies
will inevitably be much debate about the accuracy of the 1997 SIA Roadmap. (Will we be building devices of 100M transistors that go at frequencies of 2GHz by the year 2002 ... or will it happen later?) Although many of the actual numbers and dates will be different than predicted in the SIA Roadmap, some key trends are obvious and will inevitably impact testing methods. These key trends include...
متن کاملA Case Study of Using Distributed Resources To Enhance Diagnosis and Failure Analysis
The tight coordination between the devices with structured test enabled devices, the design and test EDA tools, and the ATE also provides the ability address rapid manufacturing ramping. This paper discusses a joint activity between Teradyne, ST and Synopsys to work with actual product designs and improve the ability to ramp to manufacturing.

متن کاملEffect of marginal design on fracture resistance of IPS e.maxall ceramic restorations: Chamfer versus shoulder finish lines
Background and Aim: One of the problems of all ceramic restorations is their risk of fracture due to occlusal loads. The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of two marginal designs (shoulder and chamfer) on the fracture resistance of IPS-emax all ceramic restorations. Materials and Methods: One extracted maxillary first premolar received chamfer 50' marginal preparation (0.8 m...
