Any Tool. Any Scale. Any Time.
Synopsys TestMAX Advisor, built on SpyGlass® technology, performs RTL testability analysis and optimization, enabling designers to fine-tune RTL early in the design cycle to predictably meet manufacturing and in-system test coverage goals. The tool’s extensive design-for-test (DFT) rule checking and RTL fault coverage estimation capabilities pinpoint testability issues early in the flow (Figure 1) thereby enabling designers to avoid test bottlenecks downstream that can lead to time-consuming design iterations. TestMAX Advisor identifies areas in the design with hard-to-test ATPG faults and provides a report of test points to improve test coverage and reduce patterns and test costs.
