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 ...

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 ...

When developing a new board, many problems can occur. Bare, unpopulated boards can have shorts and opens that can cause circuits not to work or software to fail once the board is populated. After ...

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 ...

The Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) formed in Europe in the late 1980s. Up until that time, most printed circuit boards (PCBs) were populated with chips that had exposed pins that were soldered through ...
