Most complex electronic systems take advantage of the IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) standard in one way or another. If the system uses complex FPGAs or CPLDs, then they are almost certainly configured using the ...

A compact, two-pin interface provides efficient access to debug and trace features while minimizing pin count.

Generically, embedded test implies a test capability that has been integrated into a product. Of course, whether that product is an IC, a PCB, or a complete system, embedded test means different ...

Companies specializing in circuit board and system design-for-test (DFT) tools are pursuing a variety of strategies to serve test and debug applications based on innovations they announced over the ...

Boundary scan (IEEE 1149.1) evolved as a board-level test method, but new developments are making the technology attractive for embedded and system-level test and in-system programming operations.

It is fairly common knowledge that hacking into today’s intelligent Internet devices is child’s play in most cases. The main reason is that the devices have little or no innate security designed in.

Technology people are generally familiar with the Open SystemsInterconnection model for computer networks and protocols, oftenreferred to as the OSIReference Model (ISO 7498)[1].The Basic Reference ...
