![]() SynTest Enters the BIST Product Introduces TurboBIST-SRAM for Memory Testing
Munich, Germany and Sunnyvale, CA, USA - March 8, 1999 - DATE Conference - SynTest Technologies, Inc. (Sunnyvale, CA, USA), an EDA Company and supplier of DFT tools for IC designers and foundries, today announced its first entry into the BIST market. TurboBIST-SRAM TurboBIST-SRAM reduces the time and effort required for design, test development and testing of embedded single and dual-port RAMs, and improves production quality. It also synthesizes SRAM BIST structures for any user-specified test algorithms. L.-T. Wang, SynTest Technologies's president, remarked, "Our plans include become a leading supplier of DFT solutions. In order to do this, we are extending our product line to address the fast growing BIST market." Wang noted, "TurboBIST-SRAM is our first entry into the BIST market. We have successfully applied TurboBIST-SRAM and our DFT services to more than 100 SRAM models at 8 customer sites. We plan to add other BIST products and services over time to address DRAMs, SDRAMs, CAMs,logic and cores." ITeX Reports Success with SynTest'S BIST Tool and Service: Dr. Jordan Lai, Director of Technology at ITeX (Santa Clara, CA), reported, "We used SynTest's TurboBIST solution and services to further improve the quality of our ADSL chip. Our part has 46 memory modules, including ROMs, and single-port and dual-port RAMs. In just two weeks, we achieved very high fault coverage test patterns using moving inversion March and several of our custom algorithms." More about SynTest's TurboBIST-SRAM Tool and Service: SynTest offers TurboBIST-SRAM as a tool and
as a service for customers who send SynTest their TurboBIST-SRAM synthesizes built-in self-test (BIST) structures around embedded SRAM cells used in SoC designs. It adds the necessary BIST controller logic and automatically generates the BIST test patterns needed to run in an embedded memory cell production environment. Pricing and Availability: TurboBIST-SRAM is available now for UNIX workstations from Sun Microsystems (NASDAQ: SUNW). In the US, it is priced at $50,000, in Europe $62,500 (USD). Additional TurboBIST-SRAM features include:
