Non-intrusive Board Test
ScanWorks® non-intrusive board test solutions extend beyond JTAG
ASSET's Non-intrusive Board Test
Restricted 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.

Boundary-Scan Test
Boundary-Scan Test
ASSET continues to lead the way in boundary-scan test (JTAG), helping to define the standards for new test methodologies such as IEEE 1149.7. ASSET's ScanWorks Boundary-Scan Test solutions are extremely versatile, fulfilling the most challenging test requirements from board design through to manufacturing. The unique RIC-1000 controller allows LAN- or WAN-based board testing at remote sites. Simultaneous batch testing of multiple boards is supported. ASSET's Boundary-Scan Test IP can even be embedded into a board's standard firmware or custom ICs to provide continuously available, remote monitoring of mission-critical boards in applications such as data centers, communication networks, security systems, etc. Read more »
Core Instrumentation (P1687)
Al Crouch
ASSET is a key player in the development of exciting on-chip, embedded instrumentation test procedures, defining the IEEE P1687 standard and working with market-leading companies to integrate these new technologies. Read more »
Processor-Controlled Test
Processor-Controlled Test
ASSET's highly-automated ScanWorks processor-controlled test (PCT) extends the coverage offered by boundary-scan test. PCT can diagnose faults in non-boundary-scan-enabled devices. It also tests boards at CPU operational speeds and can even find faults on non-booting boards. ScanWorks PCT is light years ahead of other CPU emulation products. The latest release includes visual and textual node-level diagnostics based on a board's component netlist. This includes extensive coverage reporting. It also has a built-in library of board device profiles for automated test generation. Read more »
Intel® IBIST
Eye diagram
It's very important to validate and test board designs that use high-speed Intel® QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) and PCI Express (PCIe) buses. The ScanWorks Intel® IBIST tool allows designers to visualize and optimize signal integrity, ensuring that these buses run reliably under all conditions, regardless of any component manufacturing tolerances or board design layout marginalities.

Board Test Workshop
EMC converges test onto ScanWorks® platform

Jeff Moore - EMCTest re-use, high coverage, low capital expense and faster time-to-market are just some of the reasons Jeff Moore from EMC gave in his presentation at the recent Board Test Workshop for EMC's shift away from intrusive test methods to the non-intrusive embedded instrumentation technologies of the ScanWorks platform.
