Signal analysis and probing

A method to validate signals on an IC based on using a tester setup that probes the IC to measure the signals on the chip. These signals are post-processed on the tester by means of complex signal analysis in order to assess the SoC’s performance.

Method Purpose Short description of the method's purpose and main benefits

Proven method in IC/SOC validation

Method Limitations The limitations of the method

Complex
Needs expensive equipment
Difficult to parallelize
Takes time to set up
Testing requires probing of the IC
