Design for Test

Scan, ATPG and BIST tuned for test coverage without blowing area or timing.

Chip design visualization representing Design for Test services

Test coverage, yield and quality are decided at design time, not on the tester. Our DFT team works from architecture through post-silicon support — scan and compression, ATPG pattern generation, memory and boundary-scan BIST — engineered to hit your coverage targets within your area and timing budget.

Service Offerings

What's included in Design for Test.

01

DFT Architecture & Planning

Flow and methodology defined against your coverage, area and timing constraints.

02

Scan Insertion

Hierarchical and flat scan implementation, with and without compression, for small and multi-million-gate designs.

03

ATPG Pattern Generation

Stuck-at, transition, bridging and cell-aware fault models with coverage analysis at block and SoC level.

04

Memory BIST (MBIST)

MBIST implementation with and without repair, validated across timing and no-timing simulation.

05

Boundary Scan / JTAG

IEEE 1149.1 and 1149.6 compliant boundary-scan implementation at SoC level.

06

DFT Validation & Post-Silicon Support

DFX validation at RTL and gate level, plus ATE bring-up and test program support.

07

Silicon Lifecycle Management

In-field monitors and test hooks that extend coverage from the tester into the product's operating life.

Built-in Testability
Architecture-Led

DFT planned against your coverage and area budget.

Scan & Compression
