VLSI Test Principles and Architectures, by L.T. Wang, C.W. Wu, and X.Q. Wen, Chapter 2, 2006. Elsevier. Electronic Design Automation For Integrated Circuits Handbook, by Lavagno, Martin and Scheffer, ISBN 0-8493-3096-3 A survey of the field of electronic design automation.
Williams was named a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in 1988 “for leadership and contributions to the area of design for testability.” [3] In 1989 Williams shared with Edward B. Eichelberger the 1989 IEEE Computer Society W. Wallace McDowell Award [2] “for developing the level-sensitive scan technique of testing solid-state logic circuits and for leading ...
Very-large-scale integration (VLSI) is the process of creating an integrated circuit (IC) by combining millions or billions of MOS transistors onto a single chip. VLSI began in the 1970s when MOS integrated circuit (metal oxide semiconductor) chips were developed and then widely adopted, enabling complex semiconductor and telecommunications technologies.
ATPG (acronym for both automatic test pattern generation and automatic test pattern generator) is an electronic design automation method or technology used to find an input (or test) sequence that, when applied to a digital circuit, enables automatic test equipment to distinguish between the correct circuit behavior and the faulty circuit behavior caused by defects.
Test compression is a technique used to reduce the time and cost of testing integrated circuits.The first ICs were tested with test vectors created by hand. It proved very difficult to get good coverage of potential faults, so Design for testability (DFT) based on scan and automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) were developed to explicitly test each gate and path in a design.
In the early days of VLSI, a chip consisted of a few thousand logic circuits that performed a simple function at speeds of a few MHz. Design closure was simple: if all of the necessary circuits and wires "fit", the chip would perform the desired function. Modern design closure has grown orders of magnitude more complex.
VLSI layout of an inverter circuit using Magic software. Magic is an electronic design automation (EDA) layout tool for very-large-scale integration (VLSI) integrated circuit (IC) originally written by John Ousterhout and his graduate students at UC Berkeley. Work began on the project in February 1983.
The Mead–Conway VLSI chip design revolution, or Mead and Conway revolution, was a very-large-scale integration design revolution starting in 1978 which resulted in a worldwide restructuring of academic materials in computer science and electrical engineering education, and was paramount for the development of industries based on the application of microelectronics.
