Importance of DFT (Design for Testability) in VLSI Circuits

Introduction Design for Testability (DFT) is a critical aspect of Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) circuit design, ensuring that complex integrated circuits function correctly and reliably. As VLSI circuits become increasingly intricate, implementing effective DFT strategies is essential for efficient testing and high-quality end products. Understanding DFT in VLSI Circuits DFT refers to the incorporation of specific design techniques and features into VLSI circuits to facilitate their testing during manufacturing and throughout their operational life. Given the complexity of modern VLSI circuits, traditional testing methods are often inadequate. DFT addresses…
