Re: DFT Tool

anantha_09: I think Mentor would beg to differ on your assertion that TetraMAX is the most widely used tool. TetraMAX is one of many DFT tools out there.

Here's a more complete list:

Mentor: FastScan (ATPG), TestKompress (compression) , MBIST Architect (memory BIST), BSD Architect (boundary scan/JTAG), DFT Architect (scan insertion), etc.
Synopsys: TetraMAX (ATPG), DFT MAX (scan insertion/compresssion)
Cadence: Encounter test (scan insertion, ATPG)
SynTest: TurboScan, TurboBSD, DFT-PRO, etc.

This is a more complete list, but not totally complete... you'll have to do your own research at each company's website to find out more. They all have their advantages/disadvantages.
