Resolution of Interoperability challenges in Automatic Test Point insertion across different EDA vendors
For a typical design there may be some design corners where ATPG tool/algorithm may find hard to generate patterns for fault detection. This leads to loss of coverage or increase in pattern count. To overcome this issue EDA tools(DFT/ATPG) provide options to insert Control logic on locations/nodes with poor controllability or Observe test logic on locations/nodes with poor observability, these are referred as Test Points.- Dynamic Margining: The Minima Approach to Near-threshold Design

Ins and Outs of Assertion in Mixed Signal Verification
In this article, we demonstrate how the mixed signal assertions are different from digital assertions and how an assertion-based Verification (ABV) is extended to the Mixed Signal verification. This article also covers different assertion techniques in Mixed-Signal Verification Systems.
