Electronics are getting more sophisticated and complex every day. Chips, boards, and the systems they comprise are increasingly difficult to design. Companies engaged in electronic product development ...

Just as Moore's Law poses a challenge to semiconductor designers, it also poses a challenge to test engineers. A software-defined test methodology can ride the curve of Moore's Law to keep up with the ...

Scan is a structured test approach in which the overall function of an integrated circuit (IC) is broken into smaller structures and tested individually. Every state element (D flip-flop or latch) is ...

Diagnostic test developers, including clinical laboratories, responded to the COVID-19 pandemic with inspiring creativity to meet patient testing needs. These developers found unique ways to enable ...

Semiconductor design, manufacturing, and test are becoming much more tightly integrated as the chip industry seeks to optimize designs using fewer engineers, setting the stage for greater efficiencies ...

Getting an integrated circuit (IC) from design to test is an arduous process that encompasses a number of steps, including: This is an iterative process and can take months, so every step should be ...

Observational studies are emerging as fundamental sources of information about vaccine effectiveness outside the controlled environment of randomized trials, and they are being used to generate ...

Coordinated contractor testing can help accelerate the acquisition process and improve the quality of equipment and programs. Test and evaluation (T&E) is a perennial target of criticism for the time ...
