Products HiDFT-STAR v2.0

Datasheet

Overview

HiDFT-STAR (High level Design For Test – Structured Test ARchitectures) is a fully customizable RTL-to-RTL editing tool for IP cores and SOC blocks. HiDFT-STAR works seamlessly with the RTL testability sign-off solution and helps automating the integration process at RTL.

HiDFT-STAR has shown effectiveness in moving DFT implementation tasks from gate to RTL. This silicon proven product has successfully helped moving the integration of memory BIST test logic from gate to RTL. The main benefit is a significant reduction of TAT (Turn Around Time) because of the reactivity which is brought by new RTL-to-RTL editing capabilities.
