DFT discussion fires up!

Wow - go away for a month and what happens? The readers take over! And that’s a good thing - it’s exactly what I’d like to happen.

For those of you that just look at the front page of DFT Digest, there has been some interesting discussion happening in the comments section of my last post. Goldy, Kiran and Aanand have put some worthwhile discussion on the table (sorry if there was any delay in moderation, since the frequency of comments has been typically low, and I’ve normally been more attentive, it hasn’t been a problem in the past).

To re-cap some of the discussion, Goldy asked about the S rules in Mentor’s DFT Architect, and Aanand was kind enough to elaborate. Aanand asked about scan chain re-ordering, and Kiran responded. Then there was a great discussion question regarding test coverage from Aanand.

I welcome any and all questions here, as well as anyone with help to offer. It’s my goal to keep a free flow of design-for-test information. Unfortunately, sometimes other things bury me, and I don’t get to this as often as I should. I’ll figure out something to minimize that.

Stay tuned…
