About a dozen years ago, the world of test had reached an economic impasse: most digital designs had become sufficiently complex that standard scan testing techniques were no longer cost-effective.

PARIS – Silicon Image Inc. announced it has licensed Synopsys' DFTMAX compression, an integral part of the Galaxy Implementation Platform, to reduce manufacturing test cost and time. Silicon Image ...

Compression testing is used to determine how a product or material reacts when it is compressed, squashed, crushed or flattened by measuring fundamental parameters that determine the specimen behavior ...

Small geometries have projected IC technology into an era where test has become a crucial part in the chip design process and have introduced new challenges needing solutions that use already ...

Want to know how healthy or unhealthy your engine really is? Get yourself a compression tester and find out. Despite how complex many modern vehicles are, you can do many common repair and maintenance ...

Test compression sounds like magic. Read on to learn how this trick is done. Large, complex ICs are viable because their design meets test as well as functional requirements. Design for test (DFT) was ...

Defects can occur naturally during composite fabrication, and damage can be induced by impacts in service, but these tend to be relatively uncontrolled events. It was desired to induce an easily ...

One of the easiest ways to test an engine's health is by checking its compression. Testing compression isn't something the average muscle car owner would do every year, but it is a useful tool to ...

Many mechanical tests of composite materials require the compression loading of a test fixture. These include not only compression test methods, but also many shear, flexure, curved-beam strength, ...

Compression: An automotive term used by everybody, forever. Let's get into some detail and maybe develop a better understanding. Pressure, and more pressure: It's a must-have to produce power within ...

The compression and decompression of files is one the most useful inventions in the history of computing, but the lack of portable and open tools poses a major obstacle to making the process as useful ...
