ITC 2018: eSilicon to present on DFT for deep learning ICs and DFT for large 2.5D/3D devices October 30-31, 2018

eSilicon, a leading provider of FinFET-class ASICs, market-specific IP platforms and advanced 2.5D packaging solutions, will deliver two DFT-related presentations at the International Test Conference (ITC) in Phoenix, Arizona on October 30 and 31, 2018.

Who
Joseph Reynick, director, DFT Solutions, eSilicon

What
Mentor’s Diamond Supporter Session
Test for the Autonomous Age
The presentations will focus on three key test challenges IC vendors face as they make the promises of the autonomous age a reality. Speakers: Joseph Reynick, eSilicon; Janusz Rajski, Mentor, A Siemens Business; and William Howell, Intel.

  • DFT and IP test methods for a deep learning IC
  • Achieving high test quality and fast yield ramps with advanced process technologies incorporating 3D transistors
  • Strategies for meeting the requirements of a growing number of market segments like automotive that have strict quality and functional safety requirements

When/Where
Tuesday, 10/30/2018, 10:45 AM MST, immediately following the opening keynote session in the Ballroom

What
Special Session 3.1: Testing of Gigascale Designs
DFT Considerations and Flow for Large 2.5D/3D Devices
Traditional IC DFT engineers must expand their horizons to include the details of packaging, physical design, test hardware, and even board-level test techniques when working with large 2.5D/3D system–in-package (SiP) devices. The planning, implementation and test for such a SiP is discussed in this presentation. Our discussion will also include challenges, solutions and potential areas for new opportunities in supporting 2.5D/3D technologies in the future.

When/Where
Wednesday, 10/31/2018, 10:30 AM MST

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.

GaN for Humanoid Robots
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Infineon
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Eric Persson and Amelia Dalton explore why power is the key driver for efficient and reliable robot movements and how GaN technologies can help motor control solutions be more compact, integrated and efficient. They also investigate the role of field-oriented control in humanoid robotic applications and why the choice of a GaN power transistor can make all the difference in your next humanoid robot project!
