The Next Generation of Embedded Test Compression: TestKompress(r) Xpress Compactor
|
Format: PDF Document The new embedded compression hardware used by TestKompress called Xpress provides significant improvement in compression of test data and test application time for designs with large number of Xs. This paper provides an overview of test quality and cost requirements of nanometer designs as well as the impact of X sources on test quality. A high-level description of the Xpress hardware is followed by benchmark results from industrial designs of Mentor's customer partners. |
