— Reduction in test power is important to improve battery life in portable devices employing periodic self-test, to increase reliability of testing and to reduce test-cost. In sc...
The lack of good "correlation" between pre-silicon simulated delays and measured delays on silicon (silicon data) has spurred efforts on so-called silicon debug. The ide...
In modern SoCs, embedded memories occupy the largest part of the chip area and include an even larger amount of active devices. As memories are designed very tightly to the limits...

In the ECAD area, the Test Generation (TG) problem consists in finding an input vector test for some possible diagnosis (a set of faults) of a digital circuit. Such tests may have ...
