Functional and JTAG/BS production testing
Implementation of JTAG Boundary Scan (IEEE 1149) is very important for complex embedded tool design. JTAG/BS should be part of product development process. By doing so, it is then available for first prototype testing or testing on production assembly line. Products tested by boundary scan require less time consuming functional testing. JTAG/BS production test significantly improves product quality!
What is JTAG/BS?
Boundary Scan is very advanced production testing technology, which detects shorts and not connected pins on assembled electronic circuit board.
How does JTAG/BS work?
By means of BS compatible components, printed circuit board (PCB), all BS components and most of other non BS components, like RAMs, FLASHes, MCUs and other, are tested. JTAG/BS testing technology enables also on-board MCU, FLASH, CPLD, etc. programming.
What does JTAG/BS test detect?
- not connected pins
- broken nets
- shorts between nets or pins
- bad placed components
- bad soldered components
- wrong oriented components
- damaged components
Why JTAG/BS test?
- Saves time and money at prototype, small series and mass production
- Reduces development costs and rises quality and reliability of products
- Fast detection and simple correction of failures
- Reduces need for functional testing
- Tests all kind of RAMs (DRAM, EDRAM, FIFO, SDRAM, SRAM, DDR...) on board
- Tests BGA components, which can't be tested by other conventional test methods
- Testing and programming on production line
- CPU and peripherals Bus tests
