In modular testing of system-on-a-chip (SoC), test access mechanisms (TAMs) are used to transport test data between the input/output pins of the SoC and the cores under test. Prio...
Due to shrinking technology, increasing functional frequency and density, and reduced noise margins with supply voltage scaling, the sensitivity of designs to supply voltage noise...
Many embedded systems contain resource constrained microcontrollers where applications, operating system components and device drivers reside within a single address space with no...
