This paper outlines the multi-dimensional nature of this complexity and the costs and opportunities it generates. It also demonstrates that the key to designers meeting this challenge is the ability to attain system-level visibility: both during the semiconductor development cycle, and subsequently after embedded systems are deployed in the field.

Programmable DC power sources are an essential tool in product development and production testing of a wide range of electronic devices and systems. In many instances, functional test requires submitting the device-under-test (DUT) to a wide range of operating conditions. In some cases, the DUT draws constant power under variable input conditions.

Among the challenges for design-for-test (DFT) engineers is how to set a target metric for automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) and how to choose the best set of patterns. Traditional coverage targets based on the number of faults detected don’t consider the likelihood of one fault occurring compared to another.

DDRx memory interfaces are key enablers for the technology that shapes modern life. Servers, computers, smartphones, gaming consoles, and GPS systems are just some of the products that demand high-speed, high-bandwidth, double-data-rate memory. Each generation of DDRx DRAM brings new advantages that allow for faster, higher-capacity, and lower-power-consumption products.

As climate change remains at the center of many conversations globally, countries are looking to renewable energy sources to reduce the volume of emissions produced annually. Moreover, with the rapid deployment of sensors into electronic devices with shrinking geometries, installing and replacing batteries can be challenging or impractical.

Electronic loads operate up to a specified minimum DC input, and below this minimum voltage, the available voltage will decay on a linear scale. However, in order to be able to perform applications such as testing individual battery cells - for example, a 3.6V lithium battery - the electronic load must operate with a greater range.

Whether designing a new jet engine or building a medical-grade freezer, signal integrity matters. Designers need certainty in, and from, their testing to ensure that their products will do what they are meant to do. This can only be accomplished through proper data acquisition systems with uncompromised signal integrity.
