Our Target Market: Who Will Benefit?
• Every Digital Chip Designer ○ Companies can no longer sell untested chips to NASA & others ○ New Auto Industry Standards ISO 26262 and ISO 9001 require that: - Chips must have 100% stuck-at fault coverage
◙ 20 years ago, 96% was acceptable at IBM
- Chip design software must be certified with extreme regression testing
• Every manufacturer of a system using chips ○ Requires System Test where all chips are tested together as one unit
• All Vehicle Makers using digital chips (defense & autos) ○ Requires affordable field test of vehicle whenever it is started - Testing proceeds throughout the automobile lifetime - $1.2 million tester -- too bulky and too expensive for this ○ Only feasible with Built-In Self-Testing (BIST) hardware for logic & memories
- Much easier to get to 100% fault coverage - Test Vector sequences are much shorter - Hardware overhead is low
In Other Words, practically everyone!
