Pre-silicon debug - shorter Time To Market
How does pre-silicon debug help ?
The table shows the different possible reasons for tests failures on tester
Pre-silicon debug helps clear the artificial fail reasons and focus on real silicon vs device model differences causing such failures.

Reasons for failures on tester
|
Virtual tester solution
|
|
Tester incompatible tests (Design issue)
|
Acts as tester thus reveals tester incompatibilities
|
|
Problematic conversion from simulation to ATE (Test Engineering)
|
Highlights bad conversion issues as test fails in simulation
|
|
Simulation Model and real Silicon mismatch (Production issues)
|
Focus only on Model – Silicon mismatch
