One of the most challenging problems in post-silicon validation is to identify those errors that cause prohibitive extra delay on speedpaths in the circuit under debug (CUD) and o...
Post-silicon debug is the problem of determining what's wrong when the fabricated chip of a new design behaves incorrectly. This problem now consumes over half of the overall ...

Producing a functionally correct integrated circuit is becoming increasingly difficult. No matter how careful a designer is, there will always be integrated circuits that are fabr...
When searching for functional bugs in silicon, debug data is acquired after a trigger event occurs. A trigger event can be configured at run-time using a set of control registers...
Post-silicon validation has become an essential step in the design flow of today's complex integrated circuits. One effective technique that provides real-time visibility to ...
