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 ...

Bigger designs with hundred of cores are creating an explosion in the volume of scan test data, significantly bumping up the amount of time spent on test. That raises the cost of test, forcing ...

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 ...

A heart perfusion imaging scan, or myocardial perfusion scan, is a test that tells doctors how well a person’s heart pumps blood. Doctors may use this test when diagnosing the cause of chest pain or ...

Companies specializing in circuit board and system design-for-test (DFT) tools are pursuing a variety of strategies to serve test and debug applications based on innovations they announced over the ...

Abstract: Scan-based testing has proven to be a cost-effective method for achieving good test coverage in digital circuits. The Achilles heel in the application of scan-based testing is the integrity ...

Mentor, part of Siemens, has developed a bus-based scan data distribution architecture that enables simultaneous testing of any number of cores. This helps shorten test time by enabling high-speed ...

A multiple-gated acquisition (MUGA) scan is an outpatient imaging test that looks at how well the bottom chambers of your heart (ventricles) are pumping blood out into your body. This scan may also be ...

Large digital integrated circuits are becoming harder to test in a time- and cost-efficient manner. AI chips, in particular, have tiled architectures that are putting pressure on older testing ...
