Synopsys extends DFTMAX compression to reduce the cost of pin-limited test
Synopsys has announced a new capability in DFTMAX compression that significantly reduces the cost of test for designs and methodologies that mandate very few test pins. Extending Synopsys’ patented adaptive scan technology with a high-performance, low-pin interface to the tester allows designers to achieve predictable compression of up to 100X or more with only one pair of test data pins. As designers must maintain test quality and reduce test ...
