Synopsys SLM SHS IP Silicon Browser

The Synopsys SLM SHS IP Silicon Browser GUI is intended for design and test engineers to enable the chip bring-up process and to fulfill memory characterization providing with a capability to communicate interactively to SLM IP SHS in the user chip via JTAG interface and to retrieve test responses, diagnostic/repair data on memories in Synopsys SLM IP SMS.

Silicon Browser provides information on the failed Synopsys SLM SHS IP and memory instances, and then immediately interprets the results of the stop on N-th diagnostic pattern run. It indicates the failed read operation in the test algorithm, reports and visualizes the failed logical and physical location, and performs detection and fault classification on the error.
