CAD Group Both teachers work in the CAD Group

Major research group within the Dept. of Control and ComputerEngineering ( Dip. di Automatica e Informatica )

Currently composed of 7 permanent researchers and about 10temporary researchers (including PhD students)

Mission: providing support to designers of electronic circuits andsystems in the areas of

- Testing

- Fault tolerant design

- Verification

Wide network of contacts withindustries and research centers worldwide.

Goal of the course

The course introduces methods and techniques for the test

of electronic circuits and systems.

What is testing ?

Testing is the operation of checking whether a product (inour case an electronic one) works correctly (i.e., asmandated by the specifications).

Faults may arise, and thus cause a product to behavedifferently than expected: accurate test is thus mandatory.

The cost for test is today a major component of the totalcost for manufacturing a product.

What is an electronic product?

An Integrated Circuit (IC)

- Custom

- Off-the-shelf

An IP A board

A system

Why this course?

Because testing is increasingly important in electronic

products design, manufacturing, and usage Because testing is increasingly difficult to achieve in

electronic products and several standards require its

rigorous application Hence, companies do require this kind of skills

Because at Politecnico di Torino there is a researchgroup with international reputation and strong linkswith industries in this area.

Labs

Students will perform some practical experiences using

commercial tools for testing.Lab activities will be guided, so that for each sessionstudents will be asked to perform some specific activity,

and produce some result.Lab activities will take place at LABINF every Thursdayfrom 10.00 to 11.30.

Lab activities will start on October 10.Students need an account to access LABINF.

Exam

It consists in a written part including some (typically 6)

questions and/or exercizes It lasts for about 90 minutes

Students are strictly required to pre-register for theexam in the due dates through the web service

During the exam students are not allow to

- Access to any written material

- Use any electronic device

- Communicate with anyone in the room or outside.

After the exam

Results will be published on the course web site some

days after the exam Students will be able to check their exam and receive

explanations about their mistakes by the teacher: a

meeting may be organized by the teacher for thispurpose

After result publications, if a student does not want theresult to be recorded (e.g., because he/she wants toimprove it) he/shes required to explicitly inform theteacher (by email).

Assignment result validity

The validity of all scores stemming from completed

assignments lasts until Sept. 30, 2014 On Sept. 30, 2014, all assignment scores associated to

students that still didnt pass the exam will be canceled.

Students from previous years

They have to follow the current year rules for exams,

assignments, and whichever They have to prepare the exam based on this year

program.

Exceptions and exam results

Exceptions to the exam and evaluation rules will hardly

be considered The teacher will do his best to fairly evaluate every

student

based on the above rules based on the student achievements in the exam (and

possibly in the assignment)

independently on any other personalconsiderations.

Hints

Students are suggested to

check periodically the course web site and their officialemail address for possible communications by theteacher (before the exam)

check whether their result has been correctly recorded(after the exam).
