Fault simulation, one of the oldest tools in the EDA industry toolbox, is receiving a serious facelift after it almost faded from existence. In the early days, fault simulation was used to grade the ...

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 ...

The growth in safety-critical applications has ushered in a paradigm shift in automotive IC functional safety and test coverage analysis. The increased need for safety, low defect rate, and long-term ...

Pickering Interfaces is expanding its range of PXI switching products designed for hardware-in-the-loop fault-simulation (also called fault-insertion) applications with the introduction of three new ...

ATPG targets faults at IC-gate boundaries, but 50% of defects are located within cells. Learn how cell-aware ATPG and user-defined fault models help to ferret out these hard-to-squash bugs.

Covering half of North America, the U.S. electric grid functions somewhat like a vast, complex organism. Researchers at the ...

A simulated swarm of millions of particles potentially laden with bacteria encircled several doctors around an operating room table, as the surgical team switched on a patient-warming system from 3M ...
