With each turn of Moore's Law, designers at every phase in the development process are challenged with new levels of complexity. Chip designers must not only get the integrated circuit (IC) logic, ...

Most complex electronic systems take advantage of the IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) standard in one way or another. If the system uses complex FPGAs or CPLDs, then they are almost certainly configured using the ...

Testing electronic circuits has been an important topic in the industry since the first transistor was developed, and today it is as relevant as ever. Test strategies are graded by how close they come ...

The JTAG port was introduced more than 30 years ago, but has changed as the industry has evolved, says James Stanbridge. For some engineers the term JTAG means a device programming port. For others it ...

Taken literally, embedded test is just that: test capabilities that exist wholly embedded within a system. Power-on self-test is an example as is a built-in performance-monitoring feature programmed ...

Cambridge, UK A UK company has developed a JTAG debug scheme that reduces the number of device pins required for debug from five to one. Debug Innovations' J-LINK system was architected and designed ...

Companies specializing in circuit board and system design-for-test (DFT) tools are pursuing a variety of strategies to serve test and debug applications based on innovations they announced over the ...

It is fairly common knowledge that hacking into today’s intelligent Internet devices is child’s play in most cases. The main reason is that the devices have little or no innate security designed in.

STEVENSVILLE MD, May 23, 2003 - JTAG Technologies a leading provider of boundary-scan testing and LogicVision, Inc., (NASDAQ:LGVN), a leading provider of embedded test for integrated circuits, today ...

Technology people are generally familiar with the Open SystemsInterconnection model for computer networks and protocols, oftenreferred to as the OSIReference Model (ISO 7498)[1].The Basic Reference ...
