What is Design for Debug (DFD)

Post-silicon debug (or post-silicon validation) is one of the important phase of the system design cycle. This is performed to capture the escaped design bugs from the pre-silicon verification phase. The major challenge associated with the post-silicon debug is the…

What is Post-Silicon Validation

Modern day Syetem-on-Chips are so complex that pre-silicon verification is no more the sufficient step to capture all the design bugs. Even with sophisticated verification process, achieving 100% coverage is difficult. Due to this, few bugs escape from the pre-silicon…
