About a dozen years ago, the world of test had reached an economic impasse: most digital designs had become sufficiently complex that standard scan testing techniques were no longer cost-effective.

PARIS – Silicon Image Inc. announced it has licensed Synopsys' DFTMAX compression, an integral part of the Galaxy Implementation Platform, to reduce manufacturing test cost and time. Silicon Image ...

Want to know how healthy or unhealthy your engine really is? Get yourself a compression tester and find out. Despite how complex many modern vehicles are, you can do many common repair and maintenance ...

One of the easiest ways to test an engine's health is by checking its compression. Testing compression isn't something the average muscle car owner would do every year, but it is a useful tool to ...

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 ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. I have been working on my own vehicles for almost 40 years and in that time have accumulated a sizable collection of tools. The bulk of them ...

Integrated circuit (IC) sizes continue to grow as they meet the compute requirements of cutting-edge applications such as artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous driving, and data centers. As design ...

Small geometries have projected IC technology into an era where test has become a crucial part in the chip design process and have introduced new challenges needing solutions that use already ...

The Hoffman test, also known as the Hoffman sign test, lets your doctor know whether there are compression — or pressure — problems in your spine near your neck. During this brief examination, your ...

Most compression tools leave your images looking blurry or they take forever to process. These underrated compression tools are fast, effortless, and surprisingly effective—and chances are, you’re not ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Unlike metals and plastics, for which tensile and compressive properties are the same or very similar, unidirectional composites exhibit significantly different ...

Until the mid-1970s, compression testing of composite materials received relatively little attention. Up to that point it, had generally been assumed that the compressive stiffness was approximately ...
