Siemens today announced it has acquired ASTER Technologies ("ASTER"), a privately held market leader in printed circuit board ...

Why isolated flows negatively impact design schedule and PPA. Benefits of unified DFT, synthesis, and physical design flows. Physical implementation optimization methods for test compression and scan ...

Design-for-test, or DFT, should facilitate high-quality test, not change the design. Test techniques and strategies need to supply a high-quality test that screens out defective devices, avoiding ...

Siemens plans to integrate Aster's advanced "shift-left" design for test functionality into Siemens' Xpedition and Valor ...

The testing and verification of semiconductor chips was a prominent topic at this year’s European Test Systems (ETS) conference, especially in the area of Design-for-Test (DFT) tools and techniques.

In today’s highly competitive semiconductor industry, chip-design companies strive for competitive advantages by optimizing designs for PPA (Power, Performance, Area). Along with the functional logic, ...

Siemens has announced the acquisition of ASTER Technologies, a provider of printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) test ...

The complexity with system-on-chip (SoC) design continues to grow, creating greater complexity of the corresponding design-for-test (DFT) logic required for manufacturing tests. Design teams are ...

SAN MATEO, Calif. — Magma Design Automation Inc. is in the process of adding design-for-test (DFT) capabilities to Blast Chip, its RTL-to-GDSII design system. The DFT features, which will likely be ...

Siemens AG (Munich, Germany) announced it has acquired ASTER Technologies, a privately held market leader in printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) test ...

San Mateo, Calif. – SynTest Technologies Inc. has taken its entire design-for-test (DFT) flow up to the register-transfer level with DFT-Pro Plus, the latest version of its DFT-Pro tool package. The ...
