Most mixed-signal and RF IC testing in industry today involves specification-based testing using ATE. However, some companies employ alternative solutions to ATE testing that use DFT and BIST. This article presents a brief overview of common IC industry practices in mixed-signal testing and RF testing with emphasis on wired and wireless transceiver testing. The authors also discuss the testing challenges of system-in-package (SiP) technology, and present a few practiced DFT solutions.
