DFT Tool Integration

• Define opportunities and methods to introduce DFT into all life cycle phases of a DSP project
• Reduce project life cycle cost by 20% by DFT inclusion
• Support DFT introduction by providing training in methodology and specific tool usage I
• ntegrate commercial tools for DFT into project workflow definitions to obtain advantages of cost/time reductions promoted by DFT

• Effectiveness of DFT Tools demonstrated during application to BM projects
  • BM2: Early high level DFT entry, architecture tradeoffs Later verified by design engineers
  • BM3: DFT requirements, STP, test architecture, and TSDs developed and applied to Shadow Program
• Generation of Reuse Elements which reduce LCC (Template Procedures)
• Publication of Methodology and its enablers
  • Templates, reusable testbench, and components published in LM EPI Internal Web Site
  • DFT Training developed and available
  • Formal documentation of D DFTFT topics and results - 2Q97

• RASSP DFT Methodology affects cost/time improvements for their products >2X savings in test
• Integrated tools minimizes disjoint test/ validation
