Thanks to TestKompress chips remained affordable

Back in the 90s, the costs of testing integrated circuits threatened to exceed the manufacturing costs. Janusz Rajski (68) from Digital Factory, came to the rescue by developing a test method that used data compression to work up to 100 times faster than conventional tests. The invention caused a great sensation in the chip industry: thanks to TestKompress, highly integrated chips remained affordable. According to his own statement, his comprehensive education in mathematics and physics in Poland is the basis of his success. Rajski is being honored with a Lifetime Achievement award.
