About This Manual
Overview
FastScan and FlexTest are Mentor Graphics ATPG tools which are an integral
part of the Mentor Graphics Design-For-Test solution.
FastScan is a comprehensive combinational Automatic Test Pattern Generation
(ATPG) system optimized for full scan designs. It offers the highest speed and
accurately measured high test coverage to guarantee your product quality and
reliability.
FlexTest is a high performance sequential Automatic Test Pattern Generation
(ATPG) system that allows you to create a set of test patterns that achieves a high,
accurately measured test coverage for your cycle-based circuits.
Optionally available with FastScan and FlexTest is Mentor Graphics DFTInsight
which can translate a specified portion of a netlist-based design to schematic form.
DFTInsight adds the ability to graphically investigate and interact with designs,
thus facilitating testability debugging efforts.
This manual contains information on each of the FastScan, FlexTest, and
DFTInsight application commands. Additionally, the manual contains reference
information specific to each of these applications. For procedural information on
how to use FastScan, FlexTest, or DFTInsight in the ASIC/IC design
environment, refer to the Scan and ATPG Process Guide.
This manual is divided into the sections and appendices that follow:
• Chapter 1 — Introduction - briefly describes the inputs, outputs, and
features of FastScan, FlexTest, and DFTInsight.
• Chapter 2 — Command Dictionary - lists the detailed information for
each command.
