Success in the electronics business hinges on producing high-quality products and using the most cost-effective methods to do so. As the number of devices on ICs continues to double every 18 to 24 ...

CRTs don’t last forever, and neither do the electronics that drive them. When you have a screen starting to go wonky, then you need a way to troubleshoot which is at fault. A great tool for that is a ...

The old adage “time is money” is highly applicable to the production testing of semiconductor devices. Every second that a wafer or chip is under test means that the next part cannot yet be tested.

Semiconductor chips have been evolving to meet the demands of rapidly transforming applications, and so has the test technology to meet the test goals of those chips. Going back two decades or so, the ...

Automatic test-pattern generation (ATPG) has played a key role in semiconductor logic test, but several trends driving the need for semiconductor test quality are challenging traditional ATPG tools.

Handling timing exception paths in ATPG tools while creating at-speed patterns has always been a tough and tricky task. It is well understood that at-speed testing is a requirement for modern ...

While most countries have switched to digital broadcasting, and most broadcasts themselves have programming on 24/7 now, it’s hard to remember the ancient times of analog broadcasts that would ...
