A Comprehensive Package of DFT Tools - DFT-PRO Plus
DFT-PRO Plus offers an integrated DFT solution covering scan synthesis and ATPG, memory Built-In Self-Test (BIST) synthesis and boundaryscan (BSD) synthesis. The corresponding tools generate RTL blocks that fit seamlessly into an existing synthesis flow. This gives the user the freedom to choose any commercially available logic and scan synthesis tools from vendors like Cadence, Incentia, Magma, Mentor, Synopsys or Synplicity and enables a one-pass RTL to GDSII synthesis flow. It also eases overall design floor planning.
Tools for checking DFT violations and integrating various DFT blocks and design RTL codes are also included in the package. The testability checker conducts an extensive DFT rules check at RTL. It offers automatic DFT repair at RTL by inserting repair logic. This alleviates the tedious manual coding at RTL to repair the DFT rule violations.
