Extending Synopsys’ patented adaptive scan technology with a high-performance, low-pin interface to the tester enables designers to achieve predictable compression of up to 100X or more with only one pair of test data pins. DFTMAX compression now delivers even greater test time and cost savings for today’s challenging designs.
