Embedded Instruments for Board-level Test
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work introduces a new board-level test technology based on specific synthesizable embedded instruments. The purpose of intelligent embedded instrument is to carry out a vast portion of test application related procedures, perform measurement and configuration of system components thus minimizing the usage of external test equipment. By replacing traditional test and measurement equipment with embedded virtual instruments it is possible not only to achieve the significant reduction of test costs but also facilitate high-speed and at-speed testing.

متن کاملComplementiser Phrase: The Case of English Wh-Embedded Clauses
English main-clause wh-questions form complementiser phrases with wh-words preposed to spec-C position. This is because English wh-words, as verb-complements originally, are strong enough to trigger wh-movement and auxiliary inversion. Persian EFL learners encounter an over-differentiation problem regarding the acquisition of auxiliary inversion rule in English standard questions. Once they hav...
متن کاملA S Tudy of I Nstrument R Euse and R Etargeting in P 1687
Modern chips may contain a large number of embedded test, debug, configuration, and monitoring features, called instruments. An instrument and its instrument data, instrument access procedures, may be pre-developed and reused and instruments may be accessed in different ways through the life-time of the chip, which requires retargeting. To address instruments reuse and retargeting, IEEE P1678 s...
متن کاملEmbedded test controller for board and system level remote testing
This paper presents an embedded test controller, which can be used for board and system level testing. In addition to controlling IEEE 1149.1/.4 test busses, the test controller can also generate and measure analog test signals. To demonstrate its capabilities, two test cases will be presented. USB is used to remote control the test process in compliance with the Universal Test Communication St...
متن کاملGeneralizing Access to Instrumentation Embedded in a Semiconductor Device
In the 1980s—the early days of circuit boards—most failures were due to poor solder joints on the boards, imperfections among board connections, or problems with the bonds and bond wires from integrated circuit (IC) pads to pin lead frames. The Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) formed in 1985 to provide a pins-out view from one IC pad to another so these faults could be examined. The eventual resu...
