GDA Technologies adopts test IP for
serdes
LogicVision and GDA Technologies are to deliver design services for high speed I/O test with LogicVision's comprehensive at-speed test IP for high speed serdes circuits.
LogicVision and GDA Technologies have announced an alliance to deliver design services for high speed I/O test with LogicVision's comprehensive at-speed test IP for high speed serialiser/deserialiser (serdes) circuits The dynamic growth of these high-speed interface circuits and the rapid increase in both datarates and lane counts have created a need for a low cost parametric test for applications that include PCI Express, Ethernet, SATA and a number of other high-speed serial I/O standards

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.
To meet this growing need GDA Technologies is collaborating with LogicVision to offer its customers built in self test (BIST) solutions for testing high speed I/O with LogicVision's ETSerdes product.
This service provides system-on-chip design teams a high-quality IP solution for developing and testing high speed I/O circuits while reducing overall test cost.
Using LogicVision's ETSerdes, a full set of high-speed I/O parametric tests can be performed at production test speeds.
These tests included at-speed waveform tests, transmitter jitter tests, and receiver jitter tolerance tests.
Because ETSerdes is on-chip, it can provide subpicosecond performance at wafer probe, package, board and system test.
"The rapid growth in use of high-speed serdes I/O devices is reflected in the demand from our customers for this technology", said Ravi Thummarukudy, VP and GM of GDA's IC Solutions Business Unit.
"We are pleased to offer our customers design services with LogicVision's ETSerdes, to allow them to meet their performance and quality goals while containing manufacturing test costs".
"GDA is a leading provider of PCI Express IP solution development, and believes that high speed signal integrity is critical for their customers", said Jim Healy, President and CEO of LogicVision.
"LogicVision's products deliver the high quality test needed, while reducing test costs".
"This is a compelling value proposition for customers who want to gain the benefits of serdes BIST as inserted by a best-in-class design house".
