Objective
One main objective is to reduce the verification and debugging time associated with new mixed-signal prototype chips by 1-2 months to improve the time-to-market in the fast evolving mobile telephone business segment.
Another important aim is to reduce the entire job of creating a test and verification solution for new complex mixed-signal components. This will make the program development effort significantly more efficient and allow the user company to handle even more complex solutions within a reasonable resource.
It is planned to show clear improvement with respect to the user's existing techniques in verification of mixed-signal applications. This will include reductions in test cost (e.g. improved throughput, lower total test costs, etc.). Part of the strategy is also to improve accuracy and measurement techniques such as multitone testing and other DSP based testing methods. Improved transfer of results from the user's mixed-signal design environment, as well as ease-of-use is an area where significant achievements can be gained. The openness of the system approach taken, promise well for future upgrade, and may prove a major advantage for wider applications.
It is planned to make known the results to other industries, not least those of the telecommunication sector. The user and the tool provider will make efforts to have the major results presented at key international events such as the European Design & Test Conference and the International Test Conference. The tool provider will also through sales efforts and dedicated seminars, be involved in dissemination. Seminars as part of the FUSE program could bring the results to a broad range of beneficiaries.
TACTIC introduces a new generation of mixed-signal test verification solutions to the Nokia mobile communication division (NMP). This will allow fast verification of new mixed-signal applications by emulating critical analogue functionality of a given mixed-signal IC design and hence allow debugging of test and verification programs before the actual prototype chip is available.
