Course Overview

The Tessent™ Scan and ATPG course will drive the development of your skills and knowledge in scan and ATPG design processes utilizing the Tessent DFTAdvisor point tool, Tessent FastScan™, Tessent TestKompress®, Tessent FastScan MacroTest™, and the Tessent point tool DFTVisualizer. ModelSim® is used to simulate mismatches in some of the labs. This course teaches you how to insert full scan in a design using the DFTAdvisor™ tool flow, and shows you how to create high quality test patterns using the ATPG tool flow. This course also teaches you ATPG compression techniques along with industry-standard Tessent TestKompress compression techniques.

The hands-on labs are designed to reinforce key concepts through practical experience and to develop proficiency with the Mentor Graphics Tessent tool suite under the guidance of industry-expert instructors.

You Will Learn How To

  • Analyze ATPG messaging
  • Achieve high test coverage
  • Create high quality patterns
  • Perform advanced test methodologies
  • Troubleshoot areas of low test coverage
  • Achieve high test pattern compression
  • Troubleshoot DRC violations and simulation mismatches
  • Use Tessent TestKompress to create compact pattern sets

Hands-On Labs

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

  • Accessing documentation and getting help
  • Using the scan and ATPG tool flow (with and without a design rule violation)
  • Setting up new and existing scan pins (internal or external)
  • Balancing scan chains with multiple clock domains
  • Writing and editing scan chain order files and stitching
  • Reading and analyzing messages
  • Determining the cause of undetected faults
  • Using common methodologies to attain a quick estimate of test coverage
  • Creating and saving patterns in different formats
  • Verifying patterns using ModelSim
  • Reading ASCII files into Tessent FastScan
  • Modifying timeplates
  • Using traditional ATPG compression techniques
  • Using basic Tessent TestKompress compression techniques
  • Creating fault models and fault grading
  • Using Tessent FastScan MacroTest and top-up ATPG
  • Fault-grading boundary scan and top-up ATPG
  • Troubleshooting areas of low test coverage
