Despite its standardization as IEEE 1149.1 in 1990 and wide use in the industry, many test engineers and developers still do not fully understand the benefits of boundary scan test. The misconceptions ...

Tessent Streaming Scan Network (SSN) is a system for packetized delivery of scan test patterns. It enables simultaneous testing of any number of cores with few chip-level pins, and reduces test time ...

As design size and complexity increase, so too does the cost of test. Both the design community and the test industry are looking at various approaches to lower the cost of manufacturing test. This ...

Some new design-for-test (DFT) technologies are difficult, expensive, or risky to implement but offer significant benefits. Other technologies are easy to implement but offer minor improvements. The ...

Boundary scan has traditionally been difficult to promote as a product-design requirement. But boundary-scan success stories have percolated into the electronic-design community, and the availability ...

Maybe you should try boundary scan testing now that your continuity buzzer has died. Most engineers are familiar with the theory of boundary scan testing, but what about having actual hands-on ...

A CT scan is often one of the first imaging tests done during the diagnostic process. While a CT scan alone isn’t enough to diagnose pancreatic cancer, it can provide images that help doctors ...

Preparing for a medical test often triggers health anxiety, making it easy to worry about hidden conditions and care needs.
