Design For Testability (DFT) refers to those design practices that assist designers to reduce cost of test pattern generation, enhance fault coverage, and hence reduce defect levels at mass production.
GUC DFT methodology provides a complete solution including RAM/ROM BIST, DC/AC Scan, Logic BIST, ATPG and boundary scan (JTAG), to achieve ultra-high test coverage.
