Tessent TestKompress
Tessent™ TestKompress® delivers the highest quality deterministic scan test with the lowest manufacturing test cost. The solution uses a patented on-chip compression technique to create scan pattern sets that have dramatically less test data volume and reduced test time on the automatic test equipment.
Product Demo
Tessent TestKompress
This product presentation describes the advantages of using Tessent TestKompress for managing test quality, test time, design flow, and test pattern generation throughput. Basic and advanced fault models are discussed, and how the requirements to use these models drive the need for compression. Using TestKompress in various configurations such as low pin count testing (LPCT) and block-based design are discussed.
Highlights
- Thorough testing of digital logic with scan-based patterns.
- Fast pattern generation through high-performance ATPG algorithms and distributed processing.
- A wide variety of fault models, including stuck-at, transition, path delay, multiple-detect, and more provide a thorough test program applicable to smaller geometry technologies.
- Supports low pin count test strategies (as few as one scan channel).
- Failure files can be analyzed with Tessent Diagnosis and Tessent YieldInsight.

Tessent SoCScan
Tessent TestKompress can be used with Tessent SoCScan to take advantage of the Mentor Graphics automated hierarchical test integration and test generation flow. Tessent SoCScan makes use of shared isolation and capture-by-domain technologies to deliver independent core-level ATPG and chip-level pattern reuse. Tessent SoCScan
Tessent LBIST
Tessent TestKompress can be used as a stand-alone test strategy or in conjunction with Tessent LBIST. The combination of the two solutions enables application of any combination of pseudorandom, deterministic, or compressed deterministic patterns. This provides the maximum flexibility for achieving the most effective test time versus quality optimization. Tessent LogicBIST
