ScanWorks® Boundary-Scan Test

ScanWorks Platform for Embedded Instruments

Test coverage that legacy technologies can’t provide

Key Benefits

– Reduced test costs: lower capital costs, lower operational costs, lower maintenance costs
– Greater test coverage: Fault isolation not limited by probe access
– Test non-intrusively without probes or bed-of-nails fixtures
– Software-based shorts/opens detection and isolation

Over the last decade, chip and circuit board design techniques have conspired against the board-level test coverage you need. With ScanWorks boundary-scan test – one of the several toolkits that can be configured on the ScanWorks platform for embedded instruments you’ll be able to non-intrusively identify, isolate and diagnose structural faults and defects on circuit boards without resorting to test probes or expensive bed-of-nails fixtures. You’ll achieve the shorts and opens test coverage that has eroded as technology has advanced and physical access for probes has disappeared. At the same time, you’ll avoid those hefty price tags and operational costs that legacy intrusive test equipment entails. And the ScanWorks platform gives you the ability to deploy multiple validation, test and debug tools in one cost-effective software-oriented environment. Correlating the results of several tools enhances the results of each individual tool.

Hardware Overview

Ever since the IEEE 1149.1 Boundary-Scan Standard (JTAG) was developed in the 1990s, ScanWorks has been the leading benchtop tool. In 2010, Frost & Sullivan, the global market research firm, found that ScanWorks is the dominant boundary-scan test tool in the industry.

Because many of the founders of ASSET were involved with the development of the original IEEE boundary scan standard, we have been the leading provider of innovation and boundary-scan education to the marketplace.

Our web site is full of information on boundary scan. If you’re just learning, we’ve got educational materials. Maybe you need more details about the capabilities of the ScanWorks boundary-scan test toolkit. Or perhaps you have a certain problem and you’re looking for a specific boundary-scan solution. We’ve got it all. We also have a free service that will help you achieve the test coverage you’re looking for.
