Embedded memories represent, in most cases, the largest contributor to yield loss on a die, due to the very large area and density of these regular circuits. A successful memory strategy must incorporate an efficient and effective test and repair methodology in order to achieve maximum quality and yield levels without impacting test times or time-to-market goals. LogicVision's ETMemory solution provides a comprehensive, integrated and low-area overhead solution for at-speed test and repair of embedded memories. The solution provides unique automation for integrating and verifying embedded memory test and repair capabilities within even the most complex designs. Once integrated, these capabilities not only provide the highest quality test, but also deliver crucial yield improvement through optimized on-chip repair analysis and eFuse management.
"LogicVision has a long track record of delivering the most advanced BIST solutions," said John F. Brown III, Vice President of IC Engineering at Tilera. "The standards-based, hierarchical architecture of the ETMemory product enables us to develop an efficient, cost-effective design flow for adding advanced test capabilities to our designs."
"We are continuously working to deliver the industry's most advanced memory test and repair solution," said Stephen Pateras, Vice President of Marketing at LogicVision. "Having a leading-edge company such as Tilera choose our solution for their test and yield improvement needs clearly strengthens our position as the industry standard for memory BIST."
