Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that the
Semiconductor Technology Academic Research Center, STARC, has
successfully employed the Tessent™ TestKompress® product to expand
its low power IC test methodology for ICs used in battery-powered
mobile devices and other power-sensitive products. Using Mentor
Graphics technology, STARC is able to detect bridge and small delay
failures and to prevent IR drop and power noise in nanometer
devices, while minimizing test time and IC power consumption during
test.
"The combination of Mentor tools and application expertise was
of critical value in our efforts to solve these significant
challenges," said Takashi Aikyo, Senior Manager, Test and Diagnosis
Group Development Department-2 at STARC, the semiconductor research
consortium located in Yokohama. "Using standard power
format-directed scan chain insertion and unique pattern generation
algorithms, TestKompress helped us achieve an ideal combination of
highly compressed patterns to reduce test time, and efficient
multi-domain test controls to minimize power during test. Using
TestKompress, we were able to achieve test compression of 100X with
a toggle rate under 20% in order to meet our test quality and power
budget requirements, while staying with our manufacturing test cost
constraints."
"Tessent TestKompress has been successful in a wide variety of
low-power IC test applications," said Greg Aldrich, Director of
Marketing for the Silicon Test Solutions product group at Mentor
Graphics. "Its inherently efficient test pattern generation
technology -- combined with special features to minimize switching
activity and manage multiple test domains -- makes it the most
capable solution available for low power as well as general IC
test."
