New Devices Drive Digital Test Requirements
Capacity to handle high and
increasing data volumes
Emerging Test
Challenge:
Faster time to market
requirements
• 10x Increase in test data volume
• Shorter development cycles and
more complex test programs
Manufacturing
Impact:
• More and larger digital patterns
• More data results archived for
yield and quality improvement
• More test code to develop and
maintain
• Higher risk of test escapes or yield
loss due to coding errors
