NVIDIA MATHS: Mechanism to Access Test-Data Over High-Speed Links

The Mechanism to Access Test-Data over High-Speed Link (MATHS) provides a high-throughput PCIe-based system to structurally test system-on-chips (SoCs) at wafer and system levels. With this system, the SoC can be directly tested at the system level and the reliance on expensive test equipment. Since MATHS simplifies the necessary ATE architecture and design, smaller and lower cost testers can be employed to test the SoC. The system is based on PCIe standards, making it highly portable across all platforms, including ATE, system-level test, board, and in-field testing.
