The Tessent�Scan and ATPG course will drive the development of your skills and knowledge in scan and ATPG design processes utilizing the Tessent DFTAdvisor point tool, Tessent FastScan� Tessent TestKompress®, Tessent Fastscan MacroTest� and the Tessent point tool DFTVisualizer. ModelSim® is used to simulate mismatches in some of the labs. This course teaches you how to insert full scan in a design using the DFTAdvisor�tool flow, and shows you how to create high quality test patterns using the ATPG tool flow. This course also teaches you ATPG compression techniques along with indu... [Read More]

Tessentâ„?Diagnosis will teach you to capitalize on the methods of defect discovery on failing devices in a production environment. Using the defect reports from Tessent Diagnosis you will be able to plan the analysis process in determining the root cause of failure, reducing time, and improving your hit rate. With the correlation between the Logical netlist and the Physical layout, you will have an indication of the most likely area where to begin the failure analysis.

Hands-on lab exercises will reinforce lecture and discussion topics all under the guidance of our industry ex... [Read More]

The Tessentâ„?MemoryBIST and LogicBIST course will help you understand how to implement DFT for memory and logic test. You will be introduced to Tessentâ„?technology and automation tools, building upon a recommended flow that a hardware engineer adding Built-In Self-Test (BIST) should follow. The lecture/lab format of the class gives you a conceptual understanding of how BIST circuitry for random logic and memories can be automatically generated and inserted into a circuit.

The SystemVision Introduction course was developed to help you become more effective in the design and analysis electrical and mechatronic systems. In this course, you will gain proficiency in mixed-signal/mixed-technology design and analysis by learning how to capture, parameterize, and analyze designs using the SystemVision environment. You will simulate in both the time-domain and frequency-domains, and also perform various parametric analyses. In addition, you will learn how to effectively post-process analysis results with the Measurement Tool and Waveform Calculator so that you... [Read More]

The SystemVision VHDL-AMS Modeling course was developed to help you develop VHDL-AMS simulation models for your electrical and mechatronic systems. In this course, you will gain proficiency in analog, digital, mixed analog/digital (mixed-signal), and mixed-technology (multi-physics) model building. You will also learn how to simplify model development with the SystemVision Model Generation Tool, which does much of the modeling work for you. In addition, you will learn how to create and modify symbols for your models.

Detailed lab exercises help reinforce what is discussed duri... [Read More]
