Test point selection and fault diagnosis remain critical challenges in the analysis and maintenance of analog systems. As these systems operate with continuous-valued signals and are susceptible to ...

The exponential growth in design sizes has rendered the traditional methods of design-for-test, layout, and timing closure no longer sufficient. Design and test engineers not only have to constantly ...

Recent and continuing trends in the semiconductor industry pose challenges to IC test-data volumes, test application times, and test costs. The industry has thus far succeeded in containing test costs ...

A Standard Test Method is a conclusive procedure that yields a test result. So as to achieve accurate and relevant test results, a standard test method is definite, unambiguous, and experimentally ...

Test points for hybrid ATPG/LBIST applications make it easier to reach the ISO 26262 standard of 90% stuck-at coverage for in-system test. The remarkable growth in automotive IC design has prompted a ...

The trend in semiconductors leads to more IC test data volume, longer test times, and higher test costs. Embedded deterministic test (EDT) has continued to deliver more compression, which has been ...

Many ASTM standards encompass the determination of the flash point of petroleum and petroleum products. ASTM D 93A is a key technique for the specification of diesel and aviation turbine fuels. First, ...

One of the recurring themes in this column over the past few years has been the development of new test methods for sandwich composites. This is primarily a result of the opportunities I’ve had to ...
