As an ASIC company, LSI Logic's goal is to design and manufacture customized solution for advanced ASIC or proven standard product. LSI Logic wanted to provide a comprehensive test solution as they meet the design and manufacturing challenges for the advanced ASIC or proven standard product. LSI deployed LogicVision's embedded test technology and automation tools to each LSI design centers worldwide and will be used in internally- designed cores, standard products, and ASICs. We have the technology that allows us to build chips with 10 to 15 million gates. The only reasonable way to approach such complexities is to do it in a hierarchical way.
Test is a key part of such a design.
The testability has to be introduced at the early module level.
