Design automation is the key to the development of very large ICs. Optimizing the connection and layout of millions of gates to efficiently perform complex functions is not a job to which humans are ...

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 ...

Abstract: Reduction of both the test suite size and the download time of test vectors is important in today's system-on-a-chip designs. In this paper, a method for compressing the scan test patterns ...

The size of designs continues to grow and IC manufacturers are pushing for higher test quality, especially in mission-critical applications such as transportation and medicine. More advanced nodes ...

This project demonstrates how Vector Quantization can be applied to image compression. It processes images by dividing them into small blocks (vectors), generating a codebook of representative vectors ...
