SOC (System-on-a-Chip) Testing for Plug and Play Test Automation

System-on-a-Chip (SOC) integrated circuits composed of embedded cores are now commonplace. Nevertheless, there remain several roadblocks to rapid and efficient system integration. Test development is seen as a major bottleneck in SOC design and manufacturing capabilities. Testing SOCs is especially challenging in the absence of standardized test structures, test automation tools, and test prools. In addition, long interconnects, high density, and high-speed designs lead to new types of faul...
