TITLE: Text on Design for Testability

A new text entitled  "VLSI  Test  Principles  and  Architectures:
Design  for Testability" co-edited by Laung-Terng Wang, Cheng-Wen
Wu and Xiaoqing Wen is now available from Elsevier  (ISBN:  0-12-
370597-5). This book addresses techniques appropriate for designs
at 90-nm and below and serves as a comprehensive guide to new  as
well  as  existing, well-proven DFT techniques that will show the
readers how to design a testable and quality product, drive  down
test cost, improve product quality and yield, as well as speed up
time-to-market and time-to-volume.  It covers industry  practices
commonly found in commercial DFT tools but not discussed in other
books including at-speed testing  for  scan  and  logic  built-in
self-test (BIST) applications, test compression for reducing scan
test cost, memory fault simulation, DRAM  BIST,  memory  built-in
self-repair  (BISR), and future test technology trends. Numerous,
practical examples in each chapter illustrating basic  VLSI  test
principles  and  DFT architectures make this book a very valuable
reference for engineers and managers practicing in the DFT field.
