Computer

From using ScanWorks' JTAG capabilities to debug prototypes to diagnosing circuit board assemblies that have failed functional test, ScanWorks and JTAG test is playing a vital role in the computer industry. For manufacturers like DigiDesign, ScanWorks has reduced the time it takes to troubleshoot a failed circuit board from days to minutes. For others, like Hewlett Packard's printer division, ScanWorks' ease-of-use and graphical user interface are critical to the occasional user.

In an industry where complex ASICs in ball grid array (BGA) packages are common ( Qlogic and MediaTek), ScanWorks and JTAG test are often the only way companies have to isolate and diagnose faults.

Success Stories

Digidesign
ScanWorks® Saves Digidesign Time, Stress and Pain. "When a board failed our diagnostic tests, a test technician would spend all day probing it with an oscilloscope until we found where the problem was," said Chris Durocher, manufacturing engineer for Digidesign™, the leading supplier of digital audio recording and editing systems, and winner of a 2001 Technical Grammy award for work performed on the movie, The Mummy Returns. "Now that we have ASSET ScanWorks™, we know exactly where the problem is in seconds. ScanWorks saves us a lot of time, stress and pain." Read more>

Hewlett Packard
Hewlett Packard impressed by ease-of-use of ScanWorks® JTAG system."I'm an engineer but I'm like everybody else: If you show me a text-based interface, you're going to lose me," said Mike D'Amico, Manufacturing Test Engineer for Hewlett Packard Corporation's LaserJet Printer Division. "The graphical user interface (GUI) for ASSET's ScanWorks JTAG system is great. It helps tremendously because I can more intuitively understand the system; it has to be straightforward to use since none of our people can be dedicated entirely to JTAG test development at this time. Since we just don't know a whole lot about boundary scan (IEEE 1149.1, 2001/JTAG), the simplicity of the interface is very important to us." Read more>

MediaTek
ScanWorks ensures quality of boundary scan implementation in chips of a leading provider of DVD chipsets. Interestingly enough, the board testing capabilities of ASSET's ScanWorks boundary-scan test environment has become a critical tool for a developer of integrated circuits (ICs) for the optical storage industry.

Qlogic
Qlogic rates ScanWorks JTAG system "the best!" Miles Nelson, test engineer for Qlogic, Aliso Viejo, Calif., wanted to find the best JTAG test and in-system programming environment available. He methodically tried some of the boundary scan products he could find and came to an emphatic conclusion. Read more>
