Abstract

These authors from Intel provide evidence for the rapid deployment of ICs equipped with high-speed serial interfaces. They argue that this constitutes a revolutionary functional and design paradigm shift, which in turn dictates a corresponding shift in test and DFT methods. They also review various approaches and discuss the tradeoffs they experienced in testing actual devices.
