Abstract :
The use of embedded test instrumentation in ASIC designs has changed dramatically over the last decade. This is due to a variety of forces that affect the semiconductor industry. Unfortunately, processes surrounding test creation and validation this instrumentation has become significantly more complicated in recent years. IEEE P1687, which is now nearing completion and ballot, addresses these issues and makes the access and control of embedded instruments nearly automatic. This poster session will illustrate the latest innovations in the standard.
