Embedding test and measurement instrumentation on chips is not new; it’s been going on for years. What is new is how these instruments can be deployed beyond their original, limited, chip-specific ...

Embedded script processors and embedded software allow for control of an instrument’s operation locally, rather than running a control program on an external PC and simplifies the process of creating ...

As process technologies continue to shrink and memory size and design complexity grow, it has become increasingly difficult to achieve high manufacturing yield. Embedded memories are the most dense ...

Built-in test and diagnostics are crucial to sensing and diagnosing failures — potentially saving lives, billions of dollars in liabilities, and reputations. Aerospace and defense system failures have ...

Applications such as smart cards and devices used in the defense industry require security features to ensure that sensitive data is inaccessible to outside agents. This used to be a niche requirement ...

CLACTON-ON-SEA, England – Pickering Interfaces in Clacton-on-Sea, England, is introducing the 43-920-001 single-slot PXIe embedded controller to enhance test and measurement capabilities. The module ...

Today's sophisticated system-on-chip (SoC) devices implement a variety of specialized microelectronic functions. Those functions, sometimes complete embedded systems in their own right, typically ...

Advances in very deep-submicron process technology require corresponding investments in design and test. Design infrastructure enabling the achievements of advanced design capability is well ...
