Embedded test technology boosts SoC throughput
LogicVision has successfully integrated its embedded test technology into Advantest's T6000 series testers to provide faster test and diagnosis of complex SoC devices.
Expanded use of embedded test solutions
LogicVision has announced that its embedded test solutions have been selected by NEC Electronics to help ensure impeccable quality and manufacturability, targeting SoC designs.
The Conformal LEC formal verification tool provides customers with an alternate approach to simulation for verifying the functionality of their designs incorporating LogicVision's embedded test.
Formal verification, when combined with static timing analysis, eliminates days of simulation tasks that would otherwise be required to confirm the intended chip function has not been altered as a result of changes to a design.
The productivity gain becomes increasingly important for SoCs and complex ASIC designs, where lengthy simulation times can severely impact product development schedules.
"LogicVision's commitment in delivering embedded test products and solutions that shorten time to market of new LogicVision testable designs remains unwavering.
Our relationship with Verplex in providing an accelerated mechanism for verifying test-ready designs is further evidence of that continuing commitment", said Mukesh Mowji, LogicVision's vice president of marketing.
"We highly recommend leveraging Verplex's Conformal LEC in the LogicVision Embedded Test flow to minimize development time.
Verplex's independence from the design tool flow gives us confidence that any design tool bugs will be identified in the verification process".
"LogicVision's unwavering commitment to it's customers, along with it's excellent products, makes it an ideal partner for Verplex", said Dino Caporossi, Verplex's vice president of corporate marketing.
"As our customers' designs go through the many critical value-added transformations such as embedded test, they count on Verplex's verification solutions for the independent audit assurance".
LogicVision's certification announcement of Verplex's formal verification product confirms Conformal LEC's ability to validate the functional mode of a design that incorporates embedded test.
This achievement represents the first phase of the planned cooperation between the two companies, with the second phase addressing formal verification of the LogicVision test modes, including logic and memory BIST.
