Testing digital designs usually requires one or more digital signals, some of which can be very difficult to generate. Pattern generators are specifically designed to address this problem. Whatever ...

CRTs don’t last forever, and neither do the electronics that drive them. When you have a screen starting to go wonky, then you need a way to troubleshoot which is at fault. A great tool for that is a ...

Engineers are beginning to appreciate that, from prototypes early in the design cycle through to final system test, a digital pattern generator (DPG) speeds up system debug and therefore shortens the ...

Test compression sounds like magic. Read on to learn how this trick is done. Large, complex ICs are viable because their design meets test as well as functional requirements. Design for test (DFT) was ...

ATPG (Automatic Test Pattern Generation and Automatic Test Pattern Generator) is an EDA method/technology used to find an input or test sequence. When applied to a digital circuit, ATPG enables ...

Today's methods for BER (bit-error-rate) testing of high-speed serial links such as PCIe and SATA rely on predetermined patterns that don't represent real-world situations. These patterns use a ...

Troubleshooting in the field post-installation is costly and frustrating. Knowing all of the possible points of failure and having the right tool to test each possibility is invaluable to the ...
