Question 1.
What does DFT stand for?
Show hintHide hint
Think about integrating testing techniques into a design.
Question 2.
Why is functional verification important?
Show hintHide hint
Consider what happens if a chip fails during low power conditions.
3Question 3.
What is the purpose of power-aware functional verification?
- To reduce the size of the IC.
- To ensure correct operation during power state transitions.
- To increase the speed of the IC.
Show hintHide hint
Recall why retention logic is essential for low-power operations.
4Question 4.
True or False: DFT aims to improve the testability of ICs.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the role of testing integrated circuits.
Question 5.
Design a comprehensive testing strategy for a low-power IC with retention logic. Include steps you would take to verify functionality during multiple power states.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the importance of functionality under all operational conditions.
Question 6.
Critically evaluate the consequences of insufficient reliability screening for low-power ICs in consumer electronics. What risks could arise?
Show hintHide hint
Focus on the potential impacts from a consumer perspective and the importance of reliability.
