Abstract :
We are on the verge of a breakthrough into Philips Product Divisions and now the spot-light is on testing. So far, we have fabricated, tested, and characterized about ten asynchronous IC designs. Recently, we developed a test method which is competitive with modern synchronous test methods in quality and test time. Tangram is poised for CAT success
