Board Test Access Issues?

ScanWorks Non Instructive Board Test is the answer!

Posted on Wednesday, July 15, 2009 by ASSET InterTech product managament at Logic Technology

Non Instructive Board Test at Logic TechnologyRestricted test access on today's PCBs requires non-intrusive board test (NBT) methods, such as ASSET's market-leading ScanWorks Boundary-Scan Test solutions. But boundary scan alone can't fully address emerging technologies so ASSET has added innovative NBT tools to the ScanWorks platform: Processor-Controlled Test, Intel® IBIST and Core Instrumentation.

Processor-controlled test (PCT) - formerly MicroMaster

Posted on Tuesday, June 23, 2009 by ASSET InterTech Pressroom

The ScanWorks® Processor-Controlled Test solution, known as MicroMaster, is a test and debug solution for assembled boards (PCBAs) that are controlled by a processor.

For those of you who are new to PCT there is another technology overview available on the new ASSET InterTech website.

Although this video focusses on our support for the entire Intel architecture the PCT tester is available for various popular processor architectures.

ASSET InterTech university offers a variety of boundary-scan Test technology, design for test and boundary-scan methodology classes. Contact us for more information.

If non-intrusive tools are the solution (and they are) what are the problems?

Posted on Monday, June 22, 2009 by ASSET InterTech Press Room

The industry has been chasing Moore's law for many years now and no one wants to be blamed for breaking the streak. But packing transistors into silicon is one thing; validating designs, performing tests and doing debug are quite another. A panel at the recent DesignCon conference highlighted the mounting desperation of many who grapple with high-end design and test issues every day. Fortunately, non-intrusive tools are a big part of the solution and they're here today. read more
