FastScan receives Honorable Mention for Test & Measurement World Best in Test Award

The new version of FastScan cuts test-pattern-generation time from weeks to days and, in some cases, from days to hours. New at-speed test capabilities improve defect detection for nanometer designs, while enhanced compression capabilities reduce the amount of test data required for these additional tests. FastScan also allows users to employ a DUT's internal PLL clocks, enabling accurate tests even at speeds in excess of the tester's operating frequency.

FastScan and the ATPG Product Family

Industry-Leading ATPG
Since structural test began replacing functional test techniques in the early 1990s, FastScan has led the industry as the most powerful automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) tool available.

As designs grow in complexity and shrink in feature size, additional test challenges emerge. FastScan meets these challenges and sets the standard for the highest quality and the most efficient test sets for today's designs.

For more information on our other Scan & ATPG tools click on the links below:
  • FlexTest - the bridge between functional and structural test, offering fault simulation of functional vectors and ATPG for unstructured designs
  • DFTAdvisor - a powerful and flexible testability analysis and test synthesis tool.
  • DFTInsight - the companion tool to any Mentor DFT test flow providing graphical testability troubleshooting. (See FastScan)
  • BSDArchitect - most designs have boundary scan requirements, and automating this process can be far more efficient.


FastScan Options:

  • FastScan MacroTest - Test small embedded macros with no additional test logic or performance impact
  • FastScan CPA - Improve test quality with critical path analysis (CPA) and "At-Speed" Test

FastScan is part of the Mentor Graphics suite of technology-leading DFT tools which includes integrated solutions for scan, ATPG, embedded deterministic test, advanced memory test, logic BIST, boundary scan and a variety of DFT-related flows.

All Mentor Graphics DFT tools are available on UNIX and Linux platforms.
