Tessent MemoryBIST Expands to Include NVRAM

The concept of built-in self-test for electronics has been around for a while. An article in Electronic Design from 1996 declared that, “built-in self-test (BIST) is nothing new.” The memory subsystem is a particularly large and complex part of any semiconductor design, and it’s one that can be particularly vexing to test. Design… Read More
