Software-based self-test (SBST) is emerging as a promising technology for enabling at-speed testing of high-speed embedded processors testing in an SoC system. For SBST, test rout...
With the constant advances in technology that lead to the increasing of the transistor count and processor frequency, power dissipation is becoming one of the major issues in high...
Much effort in register transfer level (RTL) design has been devoted to developing "push-button" types of tools. However, given the highly complex nature, and lack of con...
