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 ...

Functional safety is a major challenge for field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and other semiconductor designs. Safety requirements go beyond traditional verification, which focuses on design bugs.

Electromagnetic time reversal (EMTR) methods represent a novel and increasingly validated approach to fault location in power networks. These techniques utilise the inherent reciprocity of ...

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 ...
