Left-shifting DFT, scalable tests from manufacturing to the field, enabling system-level tests for in-field debug.

Since 2005, computer CPU chip makers have increasingly adopted the use of multiple cores to increase performance. Each core runs a separate computing task, so the computer gets more work done. Before ...

Many IC designers finally have embraced design for testability (DFT) in the form of scan insertion for digital circuit designs because of the significant time-to-production advantages these techniques ...

A firm core is less flexible than a soft core but has more predictable performance and size. For core testability, you should consider only soft and hard cores, because firm cores are not in ...

The first smartphones with dual-core processors reached the market in 2010. Before that smartphones used single-core processors maxing out at around 1.4GHz. Since then the number of cores has grown ...
