Fault simulation, one of the oldest tools in the EDA industry toolbox, is receiving a serious facelift after it almost faded from existence. In the early days, fault simulation was used to grade the ...

Logic Gates are among the important components of a circuit. All the logical operations required to perform a particular task in an electronic circuit are carried by these logic gates. If you are an ...

In the 1970s, most simulation was at the gate level and primarily used for board level simulation. Commercial simulators included Lasar from Teradyn and Tegas. In 1981, Hilo was created by Brunel ...

A few months ago, a tweet by [Ken Shirriff] asking about simple digital simulators caught my attention. The topic came up again in May when a repair video by [CuriousMarc] featured one such simulator ...

This is the second part of a two-part discussion (Part 1 appeared in August) in which the author considers fault-coverage analysis and simulation for full-scan testing of ASIC designs. These elements ...

TOKYO — Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. said it has developed soft-error simulator software with a margin for error of less than 15 percent compared to soft errors ...

If you keep up with various retro vacuum tube projects, you probably have run across [UsagiElectric] aka [David]’s various PCBs that he makes on his own Bridgeport EZ-Track 3-axis milling machine — ...

Once IC fabrication is complete, engineers use fault models to create test patterns that detect defects. These fault models are typically abstractions of defect behavior based on our experience and ...
