Engineers are beginning to appreciate that, from prototypes early in the design cycle through to final system test, a digital pattern generator (DPG) speeds up system debug and therefore shortens the ...

CRTs don’t last forever, and neither do the electronics that drive them. When you have a screen starting to go wonky, then you need a way to troubleshoot which is at fault. A great tool for that is a ...

While most countries have switched to digital broadcasting, and most broadcasts themselves have programming on 24/7 now, it’s hard to remember the ancient times of analog broadcasts that would ...

Both scan automated test pattern generation (ATPG) patterns and IJTAG patterns 1,2,3 are created for a piece of logic that is part of a much larger design. For both, the patterns are independent from ...

Automatic test-pattern generation (ATPG) has played a key role in semiconductor logic test, but several trends driving the need for semiconductor test quality are challenging traditional ATPG tools.

Large digital integrated circuits are becoming harder to test in a time- and cost-efficient manner. AI chips, in particular, have tiled architectures that are putting pressure on older testing ...

One of the hottest markets for IC today is artificial intelligence (AI). The designs for AI chips are also among the largest and most complex, with billions of transistors, thousands of memory ...

Long before HD and digital television, before cable and flat screens, Channel 6 looked a whole lot different. A slide, called a test pattern, was the first-ever image broadcast on KOTV on October 15th ...
