Troubleshooting communications test systems can be made easier if the hardware and software development are separated from each other. Problems can be more readily found and corrected by following ...

There appears to be an unwritten law about the time spent in debug-it is a constant. It could be that all gains made by improvements in tools and methodologies are offset by increases in complexity, ...

Scan is a structured test approach in which the overall function of an integrated circuit (IC) is broken into smaller structures and tested individually. Every state element (D flip-flop or latch) is ...

In increasingly complex SoC designs, many of which contain multiple cores and multiple modes, determining best practices for testing and debugging is a moving target. Jason Andrews, architect at ...
