Our team of Design for Testability experts can help increase IC test coverage, yields and quality.
Overview
Continuously shrinking process nodes have introduced new and complex on-chip variation effects creating new yield challenges. Combined with ever-increasing design complexity with multiple memories, mixed signal blocks and IPs from multiple vendors crammed into a single SoC, Design for Test (DFT) implementation and Production Test signoff has become a major challenge. The Tessolve asureDFT services suite helps you to overcome these challenges by establishing a DFT strategy that delivers improved DFT execution quality and reduced time-to market.

Benefits of Design for Testability
End-to-end DFT for a consumer SoC
Tessolve was tasked with scan implementation, verification and pattern delivery for a complex consumer SoC which had a flop count of around 1.5 million. Memory BIST (MBIST) also had to be performed for 400+ memory instances. The stuck at and at-speed coverage analysis targets were set at 99% and 85% respectively.
Implementing DFT for a network SoC
When a customer urgently needed a team of engineers for DFT implementation and execution of its network SoC, they turned to tessolve for help. After the design had been analyzed and the DFT implementation effort had been estimated, Tessolve had to execute DFT DRC for Scan and implement compression and the stuck-at coverage target for the SoC was an aggressive 99.8%
