Tessent SoCScan

Tessent® SoCScan complements the Mentor Graphics ATPG solutions, Tessent TestKompress® and Tessent FastScan™, by providing an environment to insert a hierarchical scan and clock control infrastructure for at-speed testing and effective test reuse.

The hierarchical solution scales with design size, speed, and power, providing an integrated solution for the accurate and efficient at-speed testing of nanometer SoC designs. Test pattern generation times are reduced because individual cores in isolation need only be considered by Tessent FastScan or Tessent TestKompress. A hierarchical test flow is also crucial in managing low power designs.

Features and Benefits

  • BurstMode test timing architecture provides effective at-speed test application and power control.
  • Comprehensive RTL automation flow for fast test integration.
  • Automatically integrates Tessent TestKompress EDT logic.
  • Automatically creates procedure files and control scripts for Tessent TestKompress and Tessent FastScan pattern generation.
  • IEEE 1500–compliant distributed test access architecture and patented core shared isolation for hierarchical test generation and application.

Technology Overview

Built on the foundation of the best-in-class test tools for each test discipline, Tessent brings these solutions together in a powerful test platform that ensures total chip coverage.
