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…
