[srisrisri]

hello people,

i want to know the difference between
- D/F/T/ C/o/m/p/i/l/e/r
- S/o/C/B/i/s/t
- T/e/t/r/a/M/A/X A/T/P/G
- T/e/t/r/a/M/A/X T/e/n/X
- T/e/t/r/a/M/A/X D/e/l/a/yT/e/s/t

which one is the best among these? does all these tools are same? please guide me

SSS

- D/F/T/ C/o/m/p/i/l/e/r: Scan synthesis tool
- S/o/C/B/i/s/t: A new feature of DFT C0mpiler, some kind of L0gic BIST
- T/e/t/r/a/M/A/X A/T/P/G: ATPG tool
- T/e/t/r/a/M/A/X T/e/n/X: ????
- T/e/t/r/a/M/A/X D/e/l/a/yT/e/s/t: A feature of Tetr@MA*

Each tool/feature has its own purpose, can not be compared....

hi friend,
most valuable infos/docs are all in $olvnet. you need an account to access it. for normal reader, like me, there will be no way to see them.

here is my question: are all these listed tools released by $nop$ys as in one package ? or are they just released seperately ? from their functions, it seems that they must work(integrate) together to produce a good outcome.

dft compiler is part of synthesis tool.
tmax is a point tool.
i'm not sure which package include socbist.

dft & atpg are in two packages (syn & tx).

Tm@x

1)
Since 2003.03, tm@a has been put under syn* package...

2)
S0CBIST & S0CTest are features of DFT C0mpiler ...since 2003.03 (or early ?)
