Subject: What Are The Best & Worst (To Use) ATPG Tools Currently Available?
John,
I have started designing a high gate count ASIC (100K +). I want to use ATPG
for fault coverage, but don't know which one to use. It seems there are many
ATPG tools for use. Since I have not used ATPG before, I would like to get
your opinion on that. On my last ASIC which was (only 4K gates) I used
Voyager Fault Simulator. It took me two weeks to increase my fault coverage
to 95%. It was a very tedious job which I don't think I want to do again.
