Course Overview

The Tessent™ Memory BIST course will help you understand how to implement DFT for memory test. You will be introduced to Tessent™ 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.

Hands-on lab exercises will reinforce lecture and discussion topics under the guidance of our industry expert instructors.

You Will Learn How To

  • Perform DFT design rule checking on a chip design for embedded memory test using the Tessent MemoryBIST flow
  • Generate, insert, and verify Tessent MemoryBIST IP in a design 
  • Perform DFT design rule checking on a chip design for TAP and boundary scan test
  • Generate, insert, and verify the TAP and boundary-scan logic at the chip level
  • Perform basic memory analysis and repair

Hands-On Labs

Throughout this course, extensive hands-on lab exercises provide you with practical experience using Tessent software. Hands-on lab topics include:

  • Demonstrate the flow for Tessent Boundary Scan, and Tessent MemoryBIST
  • Labs focus on the flow and give you an example of some basic features of the Tessent IP
  • The labs serve as a template for use when implementing DFT on a user-generated design

Prerequisites

  • 2 years experience in ASIC design using RTL
  • 2 years experience using DFT tools for scan insertion and ATPG
  • Basic understanding of DFT flows and DFT methodology
  • Experience with HDL-based logic synthesis
  • Experience with UNIX directories and editing text files (for lab exercises)
