Boundary-scan Boost for Huntron Robotic Probers
New system combines the benefits of flying probe and boundary-scan
(PresseBox) - nds, 14.09.2010 - Huntron, Inc., a leader in PCB diagnosis and troubleshooting equipment for over 30 years, and JTAG Technologies, a tier one supplier of boundaryscan products worldwide, today announced the integration of their test methods within Huntron's range of prober enhanced analog signature analysis products.
'Huntron Tracker' is synonymous with PCB fault detection using the technique known as analog signature analysis. From today users of this technology can now take advantage of advancements made in the digital world that allow PCBs to be tested using builtin logic circuits known as boundaryscan or JTAG present in ICs such as FPGAs, CPLDs DSPs, and microprocessors. JTAG Technology is now commonplace on many of today's digital and mixed signal designs.
'By equipping a Huntron system that utilizes their robotic probe technology with boundaryscan capability you can further enhance the test coverage achieved with these iconic test systems', says Peter van den Eijnden President of JTAG Technologies.
'It works by synchronizing the stimulus/measurement probe of the Huntron with a boundaryscan test vector that is generated by JTAG Technologies equipment. An example of this would be in testing the continuity of a PCB track from a JTAG/boundaryscan compliant part to an edge connector. Without a sense probe on the edge connector you would be unable to detect an open circuit condition. The Huntron Robotic prober adds this facility in a lowcost and flexible manner'.
Bill Curry, President of Huntron Inc., says, "Our customers have asked us to integrate boundaryscan into our products." In order to meet this request for addedvalue digital testing, we are very pleased to collaborate with JTAG Technologies in offering an integrated solution. Customers will gain greater test coverage while maintaining fixtureless test access.
About Huntron
Huntron, founded in 1976, is a supplier of tools for engineers and technicians, who test, diagnose and troubleshoot printed circuit assemblies. Our products enable physical and virtual access to printed circuit assemblies, helping users find and repair the elusive problems conventional methods often miss.
As density and complexity increase, printed circuit assemblies become tougher for standardized equipment to probe and test. Huntron complements conventional equipment with access and test tools that catch the elusive problems other methods often miss. The keys are physical and virtual access, which translate into meaningful results such as shorter design cycles, improved production yields and lower warranty costs. When you need to test, diagnose or troubleshoot complex circuit boards, Huntron lets you access, explore and discover more.
