Tessent Connect Optimal end-to-end DFT automation Benefits • Reduce test implementation time and costs • Address challenges of design size growth and more stringent test quality requirements • Enabler of production-proven hierarchical DFT methodology • Create more reliable and sustainable flows Production-proven hierarchical DFT automation Adopting the Tessent’™ divide-and-conquer approach to test is proven to deliver significant savings in turnaround time and test cost. However, retrofitting legacy flows into a hierarchical design creates inefficiencies and requires manual transfer of information from one step to the next, introducing errors that result in time-consuming iterations. Tessent Connect addresses these challenges by using an innovative DFT methodology that helps IC design teams achieve manufacturing test quality goals faster and with fewer resources compared to traditional DFT methods. This production-proven automation enables concurrent design and a simple, consolidated hand-off between teams. As a result, DFT implementation, integration, and validation time is greatly reduced; and a predictable, sustainable flow can be implemented and easily replicated for cores and designs of the future. • Tessent Connect Quickstart program ensures optimal benefit Features Intent-Driven Automation • Specification-based IP insertion • Single, unified database • Tessent Core Description based data transfer • Automatic configuration of DFT IP and Signals for all test modes • Integrated debug environment with Tessent Visualizer Universal Test Infrastructure • IEEE 1687 (IJTAG) infrastructure • Insertion, ICL extraction, and PDL retargeting for Tessent and thirdparty IP Cell-Aware test detects transistor-level defects for significant reductions in defective part leve
