ASSET InterTech provides unique tools for accessing embedded instrumentation: Boundary Scan, CPU Emulation, Intel® IBIST.
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.
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

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

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. Read

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>
