Verification reuse is critical to the productivity and efficiency of system-on-chip (SoC) verification. The foundation of this technique is well-designed verification codes and components that ...

While the disciplines of functional verification and test serve different purposes, their histories were once closely intertwined. Recent safety and security monitoring requirements coupled with ...

Design for testability (DFT) works to make a circuit more testable to ensure that it was manufactured correctly. Alfred Crouch explains the purpose of DFT in his book, Design-For-Test for Digital ICs ...

Ah, how well I remember the “good old days” when being a digital design engineer involved oodles of fun basking in the sun and playing around with logic gates and not worrying much about anything else ...

As today’s SoC designs grow more complex and time-to-market (TTM) pressures rise, designers are looking for techniques to build and update designs easily. Key elements for addressing these SoC ...

Designed around the 8960 wireless communications test set's recently-added A-GPS assistance data messaging test capabilities, the GS-9000 Assisted GPS (A-GPS) design verification test systems support ...
