Needles don’t occur in every haystack. Suppose you have developed a new method to detect a needle. Now prove it! Easy, you say—just toss some needles into a haystack and go find them. I faced this scenario with proving that Weak Write Test Mode would work. Two things needed to be proved: Did the new…

Alternatives to a 500 Millisecond Pause: Part I of the Weak Write Test Mode Saga
Efficiencies in engineering solutions are not a matter of just doing it faster; they often come about by looking at the problem from a different perspective. Such is the genesis of the move from a one-second test to a 100-millisecond test solution. Testing electronics has evolved over the decades from testing for goodness to detecting…
