How to do functional tests on I2C and SPI monitors with JTAG is explored in new eBook from ASSET InterTech

Wednesday, May 8, 2013

A new eBook from ASSET explains how the structural test methodology based on the IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan standard, known as JTAG, can apply functional tests to I2C and SPI system monitors during prototype board bring-up and later during circuit board production. Devices such as temperature sensors, electrical sensors and…

New PXI controller for ASSET’s ScanWorks platform supports four test technologies

Tuesday, April 23, 2013

With the new PXI-based controller for ASSET® InterTech’s ScanWorks® platform for debug, validation and test, engineers can test circuit boards with four different toolsets, each based on a different test technology. Operating from a personal computer and a PXI chassis, the new ScanWorks PXI-1000 controller can apply boundary-scan tests…

New eBook explores CPU cache-as-RAM for board bring-up of non-booting prototype circuit boards

Tuesday, February 26, 2013

A new eBook from ASSET® InterTech, the leading supplier of tools for embedded instrumentation, takes a close look at how run-control tools can employ a processor’s on-chip cache memory instead of on-board RAM memory to boot non-booting prototype circuit boards. “Designers often face a catch-22. They have to diagnose a…

New eBook explores how manufacturing process variances affect throughput on high-speed serdes

Tuesday, February 12, 2013

Richardson, TX (February 12, 2013) – High-speed serdes (serializer/deserializer) links on printed circuit boards (PCB) sometimes don’t achieve their expected throughput rates because of process variances in manufacturing. A new e-book from ASSET® InterTech (www.asset-intertech.com), the leading supplier of tools for embedded instrumentation, explains the defects caused by process…

ASSET white paper explores solutions for diminishing test coverage from in-circuit test (ICT) systems

Wednesday, December 19, 2012

Non-intrusive software-based test methods deliver test coverage beyond the reach of legacy probes and bed-of-nails testers. A new white paper from ASSET® InterTech explains why test coverage from intrusive, probe-based in-circuit testers with their bed-of-nails fixtures is diminishing. The paper also describes software-based non-intrusive methodologies that test from the…
