Synopsys, Inc. announced that Renesas Electronics Corporation, has deployed Synopsys' DFTMAX™ LogicBIST solution on a mixed-signal, large scale integration (LSI) design to meet automotive safety integrity levels required by system integrators. DFTMAX LogicBIST enables the design to check itself upon power-up for faults, or conditions that could cause failures, and report their presence. Furthermore, this self-checking achieves high fault coverage within a short operational time to meet system-level requirements. Renesas designers easily incorporated DFTMAX LogicBIST into their flow with minimal effort, and included Synopsys SpyGlass® DFT ADV technology to increase fault coverage. In collaboration with Synopsys, Renesas certified DFTMAX LogicBIST according to Part 8 of the ISO 26262 functional safety standard, enabling deployment on automotive designs.
