About a dozen years ago, the world of test had reached an economic impasse: most digital designs had become sufficiently complex that standard scan testing techniques were no longer cost-effective.

ScanExpress JET bridges the gap between JTAG and functional test methods, providing a superior solution to customers requiring the highest test coverage ScanExpress JET carries existing boundary-scan ...

The traditional approach to moving scan test data from chip-level pins to core-level scan channels is under pressure due to the dramatic rise in design size, design complexity, and test adaptation. To ...

Maybe you should try boundary scan testing now that your continuity buzzer has died. Most engineers are familiar with the theory of boundary scan testing, but what about having actual hands-on ...

Despite its standardization as IEEE 1149.1 in 1990 and wide use in the industry, many test engineers and developers still do not fully understand the benefits of boundary scan test. The misconceptions ...

As chips become more heterogeneous with more integrated functionality, testing them presents increasing challenges — particularly for high-speed system-on-chip (SoC) designs with limited test pin ...

Ever since OBDII vehicles became the norm, anyone interested in repairing them must have a scan tool at hand. Some people refer to those devices as scan tools, diagnostic machines, or OBD dongles. In ...

John Paul, AAA Northeast's Car Doctor, hears from a reader deciding between a vehicle code reader and a scan tool. The post Comparing code readers and scan tools appeared first on Boston.com.
