The electronics industry is in the midst of a transformation that is drastically changing product design and manufacture. Deep submicron process technology puts more gates on a chip, and the ...
Testing a circuit breaker is about judging reliability under fault conditions, not just checking continuity or voltage. A ...
Delay-inducing defects are causing increasing concern in the semiconductor industry today, particularly at the leading-edge 130- and 90- nanometer nodes. To effectively test for such defects, the ...
A new technical paper titled “Aging Aware Steepening of the Fault Coverage Curve of a Scan Based Transition Fault Test Set” was published by researchers at Purdue University. “Chip aging may result in ...
Early results of using device-aware testing on alternative memories show expanded test coverage, but this is just the start. Once the semiconductor industry realized that it was suffering from device ...
Scan is a structured test approach in which the overall function of an integrated circuit (IC) is broken into smaller structures and tested individually. Every state element (D flip-flop or latch) is ...
The Smart-Thump from HDW Electronics is a fully integrated underground cable fault locating system that requires less training than a traditional thumper because it interprets the results of the ...
