Boundary Scan tests Digital and Analog connections – A Case Study

A case study which looks at a fairly typical boundary scan application which we have recently completed.  It discusses the techniques we used to dramatically improve test coverage and the cost of these in terms of hardware resource and programming effort.

The new Scantury Prober - an advanced diagnosis tool.

This novel product addresses many of the traditional limitations of Boundary Scan testing including identifying the location of an open circuit on a 2-pin net and checking for opens on a 1-pin net.  By combining optical test, roving probes and boundary scan this approach drastically reduces the time taken to diagnose and repair complex boards.
