Subject: ( ESNUG 443 #10 ) Is anyone else seeing these DFTMax results?

> DFT Compiler MAX provides a reasonable amount of data compression and

Hi, John,

We recently came across what seems to be very encouraging results of a
Synopsys DFTMax benchmarking exercise (12X scan pattern compression and
an area overhead of less than 0.02%).

We performed our tests on a single design, which may not yet allow for
conclusive answers, but I am interested in knowing if other people have
tried DFTMax yet, and if they are seeing good results, too.

The last reference I could find about DFT Compiler Max on DeepChip dated
back to 2005.
