Southwest DFT Conference Approaching – Sign up now!
Registration is open for the Southwest DFT conference, held this time each year in Austin, TX – hosted by SiliconAid Solutions, and sponsored by Cadence, Mentor and Synopsys. Registration is on a first come, first serve basis, so sign up while there’s room!
The conference is a 2-day event, consisting of a day of tutorials, and a day of presentations given by DFT and EDA engineers. Tutorial day will cover 3 core-test related IEEE standards:
- IEEE 1500 – Teresa McLaurin, ARM
- IEEE 1450.6 – Rohit Kapur, Synopsys
- P1687 – Al Crouch, Asset Intertech
The second day will begin with a keynote speech by Tom Williams of Synopsys, and will be followed by presentations on such great topics, such as variability and defects, testing High-speed interfaces, TAMs for multiple cores, and 1149.6 design considerations. You can check out the full listing of the proposed agenda at the SiliconAid website.
The line up looks fantastic, and every presentation looks interesting to me. Wish I could be there. Both days are free if you sign-up online, but the second day is $25 at the door if you don’t register ahead of time.
