Overview
TurboScan is an
advanced full-scan and partial-scan test suite. It includes
a Scan Synthesizer and an Automatic Test Pattern Generator
(ATPG). TurboScan automatically repairs testability violations
to make your design highly testable. The ATPG engine uses
advanced search and compaction algorithms to achieve very
high fault coverage and produce up to 50% smaller test pattern
size. TurboScan is designed to reduce product defect level
and save test costs.
VirtualScan is
SynTest's solution to combat this increase in test data volume
and test cycle volume. With VirtualScan an extremely
large number of short scan chains within the SOC can be virtually
accessed from outside the chip with a limited number of pins
assigned as scan pins. Inside the chip,SynTest's new patent-pending
circuitry is used to broadcast each external scan-input chain
to a user-selectable number of internal scan chains and at
the other end, compact them into the original number of external
scan chains. An evaluation on a 2-million gate design using
VirtualScan showed a 22x reduction in test time. Further,
the static and dynamic compaction capabilities of SynTest's
powerful ATPG tool help reduce pattern sizes, leading to overall
reduction in test costs.
TurboBSD is SynTest
high-performance Boundary Scan Designer. It is 100% compliant
to the IEEE 1149.1 Boundary Scan Standard. TurboBSD performs
Boundary Scan logic synthesis, creates BSDL (Boundary Scan
Description Language) file, and generates Boundary Scan test
patterns. All these tasks are fully automated by the tool,
making boundary scan design a straightforward process.
TurboDFT contains
a suite of very useful and powerful DFT integration tools.
TurboDFT allows users to automatically integrate and stitch
DFT cores, whether they are created using DFT tools from SynTest
or other vendors. Rtlmsdb scripts and commands are provided
for allowing users to automatically stitch DFT cores with
or without boundary-scan control. Thus, TurboDFT brings "Ease
of integration" benefit and eliminates the tedious, error-prone
manual stitching process.
TurboDebug, family
of products from SynTest, offer various tools and systems
for debugging SoC chips and system boards. TurboDebug-PCB
is a product for debugging interconnect faults on system boards
populated with one or more SoCs. It uses the boundary scan
chain to detect "open" or "short" faults
on the printed circuit board. It operates on any PC that has
a PCI slot and runs on Linux as OS.
TurboBIST - Logic
and memory TurboBIST
- Memory (SRAM, ROM, DRAM and CAM) built-in self-test.
These tools synthesize the BIST logic surrounding functional
logic and memory blocks, including IP cores from third party
suppliers, and automatically generate the test patterns needed
to provide very high fault coverage testing of complete complex
system-on-silicon chips.
TurboFault combines
high performance, versatility and accuracy. It is highly competitive
with hardware accelerators for classical test fault grading.
It supports synchronous and asynchronous designs at the gate
level, including tri-state gates, latches, flip-flops, single
and multi-port RAMs, complex bus resolution functions, and
User Defined Primitives (UDPs). TurboFault reads Verilog gate-level
netlists, and will also read Standard Delay Format (SDF) timing
files.
TurboCheck is
a Testability Analyzer and Test Assistant for both RTL (Register-Transfer-Level)
and gate-level digital designs. TurboCheck analyzes the testability
of sequential circuits and assists the designer in selecting
test solutions that are most likely to improve the circuit's
final fault coverage. TurboCheck operates on non-scan, partial-scan,
or full-scan circuits. Because it is a static tool operating
on the topology of the circuit, no vectors are needed for
the analysis.
