DeFacTo Demonstrates to TESSOLVE the Effectiveness of its RTL Testability Sign-off Solution

Grenoble, France -- June 5, 2009 -- DeFacTo Technologies S.A. today announced that its RTL testability sign-off solution called HiDFT-Scan, has been successfully evaluated by TESSOLVE in India.

“Implementing complete testability at RTL level, including SCAN enables us to detect key testability issues and improve coverage early in design phase. Our evaluation has proven that the HiDFT-Scan flow helps detecting major testability problems at RTL with a very good accuracy, close to 0.5% in comparison to a gate-level flow. HiDFT-Scan has robust set of Design Rule Checks and enables new RTL DFT verification capabilities. We expect to take advantage from this flow with our future customers to be much more proactive in our design flow”, said Chandra sekhar Gandu, DFT Manager, TESSOLVE.

“We are pleased that the RTL testability sign-off solution from DeFacTo has demonstrated to TESSOLVE a tangible added value in comparison to traditional DFT flows with a full independence from the synthesis process” said Chouki Aktouf, Founder & CEO of DeFacTo Technologies. “We look forward to extending our collaboration with TESSOLVE to help solving crucial DFT problems”.
