Abstract: A method for scan testing an integrated circuit that includes a plurality of on-chip logic modules includes configuring the integrated circuit for module level scan testing and chip level scan testing by way of an external automatic test pattern generator (ATPG) tool. The ATPG tool generates first and second sets of test patterns for module level and chip level scan testing of the integrated circuit. The ATPG tool generates the second set of test patterns by excluding the design faults which have already been targeted during the module level scan testing, from the first set of test patterns and reduces the overall time required for scan testing the integrated circuit.

Abstract: An apparatus, for use in a receiver configured to receive electronic signals, for identifying digital signals that are available for reception, includes a timing recovery device configured to receive an incoming signal, related to a transmitted signal, the incoming signal having a first symbol rate, and to re-sample the incoming signal to provide a second symbol rate, and an analyzer that is in communication with the timing recovery device and that is configured to make a determination as to whether a difference between the second symbol rate and a third symbol rate of a transmitter providing the transmitted signal is within an acceptable tolerance and to use the determination in an analysis of whether the transmitted signal is available for reception.

Abstract: A method for identification of application interdependency. The method includes receiving dependency data in a Application Interdependency Identification Tool (AIIT) system, and identifying a plurality of applications and dependency relationships corresponding to the dependency data by a dependency engine. The method also includes displaying the dependency data according to the identified applications and dependency relationships. There is also an AIIT system including a dependency engine and a dependency database. The AIIT system is configured to receive dependency data. The dependency engine is configured to identify a plurality of applications and dependency relationships corresponding to the dependency data and display the dependency data according to the identified applications and dependency relationships.
