Multiple clock cycles are needed to cross the global interconnects for multi-gigahertz designs in nanometer technologies. For synchronous designs, this requires retiming and pipel...
Functional verification is widely acknowledged as the bottleneck in the hardware design cycle. This paper addresses one of the main challenges of simulation based verification (or...
Recent advances in tester technology have led to automatic test equipment (ATE) that can operate at up to several hundred MHz. However, system-on-chip (SOC) scan chains typically ...
