MUNICH, GERMANY, Nov. 2, 2010
Digitaltest GmbH, a leader in electronics testing and production solutions, and JTAG Technologies, tier-one provider of boundary scan products worldwide, today announced the integration of their test methods within the Digitaltest MTS Series of in-circuit test systems.
Digitaltest’s Sigma combinational test system is a versatile and advanced board tester with comprehensive shorts/opens, analog, power-up, serial bus, and vectorless, testing options. DSP-based analog measurements allow shorts test of 1,000 points/second. With integrated boundary scan capabilities powered by JTAG TechnologiesT users can enhance their high-precision testing capabilities. Test development and deployment times are minimized, test coverage is maximized, and fixture complexity can be reduced due to test-point elimination especially for complex digital PCBs where physical access to electrical nodes is limited.
The JTAG Technologies boundary scan option provides access to both test features and high throughput in-system programming (ISP) via the dedicated JT 3727/DPC, a four TAP IEEE 1149.x hardware controller developed in co-operation with Digitaltest.
ISP support currently covers NOR, NAND, and serial flash parts plus many families of micros with embedded flash as well as IEEE 1532 CPLD and legacy PLDs.
Ute Boctor, president of Digitaltest, said, “Our customers have asked us to integrate boundary scan into our products. To meet this request for high-performance digital testing and wide-ranging device ISP support, we are very pleased to collaborate with JTAG Technologies in offering an integrated solution. Customers will gain greater test coverage while maintaining a consistent user interface.”
Digitaltest with JTAG boundary scan capabilities are available immediately via a worldwide network of distributors.
