This ruled out the use of extensive custom circuits, and led to the adoption of a methodology close to a traditional ASIC design flow, but one tuned to the aggressive ... To further reduce delays, ...

The ASIC design flow presents a difficult challenge for the test engineer ... F or example, one mechanism that can be used is an internal counter that multiplexes with an input bus. Rather than ...

“Now, those many months of hard work have culminated in providing the high-performance ASIC market with a design flow that cost-efficiently takes on the complexity of next generation 3DIC ASIC ...
