Teledyne DALSA: "JTAG Technologies software is more robust than any of the others"
Teledyne DALSA has a 30-year heritage of developing the world’s leading high performance digital imaging and semiconductor solutions, and its new product pipeline for 2011 is the strongest ever. Test Engineering at Teledyne DALSA evaluated all the major Boundary Scan players when they adopted the technique six years ago. “We found JTAG Technologies’ software tools more robust than any of the others, and they let us do more at the engineering level.”
Philips Healthcare: Boundary-scan - "a natural way of working"
Rob Raaijmakers, Senior Electronics Designer
Philips Healthcare aims to improve wellbeing by focusing on people in the care cycle — patients and care providers. It removes boundaries in healthcare with innovative and affordable technology throughout the entire care cycle. Complex electronic equipment often relies on Ball Grid Arrays and similar packages to increase packing density. Connections are then hidden below the package body, though, and so invisible to optical inspection. Rob Raaijmakers, Senior Electronics Designer at Philips Healthcare, uses boundary scan to reveal the solder quality.
AimValley: "Boundary scan tells you exactly where the problem is”
Peter te Riele, Test Engineer for New Product Introductions
AimValley is a group of enthusiastic specialist telecom companies. Experts in systems engineering, they specialize in software, hardware and ASIC/FPGA development. A long-term (8-year) boundary scan user, AimValley uses it to test the company’s latest communications board for problem connections. Peter te Riele, Test Engineer for New Product Introductions, outlines some of the benefits.
Megger: "JTAG Technologies helped develop the optimum test solution"
Freddie Chin, Project Manager
Established in the late 1800s, Megger designs and manufactures test and measurement instruments that perform electrical measurements for preventative maintenance, trouble-shooting and commissioning purposes. A first-time user of boundary-scan technology, Megger turned to JTAG Technologies to help test a new range of Portable Appliance Test (PAT) units. Freddie Chin, Project Manager of Megger in Dover, England, recounts the story: "We’re now very close to 100% yield, and JTAG Technologies’ tools and advice got us there".
Kitron: "Hi-class support makes JTAG Technologies the ideal match"
Klaus Thomas Olsen, Senior Test developer
Kitron is an Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) company with operations in Norway, Sweden, Lithuania, Germany, China and USA. With 1100 highly skilled employees, Kitron manufactures and deliver anything from fully assembled electronic circuit boards to complete end products for their customers globally. Senior Test developer Klaus Thomas Olsen explains how JTAG Technologies helped them with the transition from traditional in-circuit / functional test flows to test flows utilising more boundary scan prior to functional test, resulting in improved yield and reduced costs.

Blue Technology - JTAG AAP adds value to ICT programs
Graham Stallard, Commercial Manager Blue Technology
JTAG Technologies' AAP (Authorized Application Provider) Blue Technology based in Reading, UK, has a long history of ATE problem-solving and customising applications to suit customer needs. When it added boundary-scan testing to its portfolio four years ago, the company sourced the technology from JTAG Technologies.
ARRIS gains improved testability and board access using tools from JTAG Technologies
Tom Nolan, Test engineer at ARRIS
ARRIS is a market leader in providing products that allow operators to deliver a full range of integrated voice, video and data services to their subscribers. They selected JTAG Technologies development tools to implement a boundary‐scan methodology for their C4® CMTS products.
Ubiquisys
Pete Keevill, Founder, VP Engineering Ubiquisys
Ubiquisys chose to adhere to industry standard network timing protocols when it started the design of its ZoneGate femtocell product. Among the challenges for this ambitious project, were design‐for‐test and cost‐effective manufacturing. To meet their design requirements and schedule, Ubiquisys needed a test systems partner with software and hardware expertise to support its project team.
Exéns Development: ‘Great tools and skilled engineers'
Jyrki Keinanen, Engineering Manager at Exéns Development about JTAG Technologies
Jyrki Keinanen was looking for a solution to simplify their engineer's daily work and to shorten the time needed for prototyping and debugging demanding embedded systems. He says; "After a series of discussions with JTAG Technologies Finland the decision to utilize boundary-scan test and associated equipment in our product development was easy."
Alcatel-Lucent
Bill Philbrook, Senior Test Engineer, about JTAG Technologies
"Before starting the boundary scan design, we consulted with the technical support group at JTAG Technologies to verify nothing would prevent us from running existing test-generation software for our proposed design, which combined 42 paddleboards and the midplane. We previously used JTAG Technologies' hardware and software for single and multiboard tests and continued to use it for this project. "Working together with JTAG Technologies, we overcame a few minor issues and successfully completed the test case."
Selex Communications: ProVision beta release - ‘streamlined and ready for use'
Jury Mancinelli about ProVision
JTAG Technologies' new ProVision software accelerates and simplifies the development of boundary-scan applications. Selex Communications' Jury Mancinelli evaluated the beta version, and reports on the company's plans to use Boundary Scan in research, too.
Hima Brühl
Stefan Thielemann, Test Engineer in Test Preparation
Hima started using boundary-scan in 1997, when it became impossible to give a new complex digital board the test coverage they were used to with conventional tools. Mr. Thielemann says, "with our current production levels, our job would just be impossible without boundary-scan".
Ericsson Diax
Sören Rex Hansen, responsible for Production Test Equipment
Ericsson Diax used to use pure functional testing with a fairly long test time for all but high-volume products. However, although equipment costs were fairly low, complex products now demand something else because functional testing cannot provide the required level of diagnostics. Also, it gives no help with repairs. Ericsson bought a complete JTAG Technologies' development and production system. "JTAG Technologies' solution has worked well, and the whole project has been very successful. Boundary-scan itself is quite easy to work with, and JTAG Technologies' support engineers provide support when needed."
Axis Electronics
Jon Westall, Principal Test Engineer
"In our business there's no trade-off between high test coverage/accuracy and fast turnaround time. It's extremely important to use tools that automate as much as possible. JTAG Technologies' tools can automatically generate interconnect tests, including a check for pull-ups and pull-down resistors."
GE Fanuc Embedded Systems
Lee Bogardus, Senior Test Engineer
Lee is an experienced boundary-scan user, having developed tests with tools from JTAG Technologies for several years, prior to the availability of JTAG ProVision. The types of circuit boards that Lee works on are Multi-Node / Multi-Core high speed computing platforms used primarily for the embedded COTS military marketplace.
Siemens VDO
Koos den Hollander, Test Design Engineer
For Siemens VDO, conventional test methods were out of the question. Moreover, diagnosis alone could take days, and optical and other conventional methods could not reach the pins. Yet, with higher production volumes for direct sale to end-users the time left for testing is only about 35 seconds for each board. The solution? VDO uses a single JTAG Technologies' boundary-scan component (the ASIC) which gives access to most of the nets of the board for testing and on-board rogramming.
Cessna Aircraft Company
Jens Lukoschat, Electrical Engineer
"The test vector generation and test execution using the JTAG Technologies tools saved a lot of man-hours and money for Cessna and I received positive feedback from management on how much easier and faster this new test method is over what was done previously."
Nortel Networks
Nadine Bergeron-Nutt, Engineering Manager
"The design we had was very complex. Other boundary-scan providers whom we contacted found the complexity of the devices to be a roadblock and couldn't guarantee coverage," said Nadine. However, "after reviewing our design, the JTAG Technologies' field applications engineers felt they could provide the test coverage we were looking for".
