Boundary scan has traditionally been difficult to promote as a product-design requirement. But boundary-scan success stories have percolated into the electronic-design community, and the availability ...

When developing a new board, many problems can occur. Bare, unpopulated boards can have shorts and opens that can cause circuits not to work or software to fail once the board is populated. After ...

Despite its standardization as IEEE 1149.1 in 1990 and wide use in the industry, many test engineers and developers still do not fully understand the benefits of boundary scan test. The misconceptions ...

Yield improvement at sub 100-nm technologies relies on the latest scan test techniques. As IC feature sizes shrink below 90 nm, in-line inspection techniques to determine yield-limiting problems ...

Some new design-for-test (DFT) technologies are difficult, expensive, or risky to implement but offer significant benefits. Other technologies are easy to implement but offer minor improvements. The ...

For more than four decades, scan technology has somehow eluded the radar screen of the IC test industry. As test continues to evolve and make significant newsworthy changes, scan has maintained a ...

Pain in your upper right belly a couple of hours after a large or fatty meal is one of the first signs that you may have gallstones. To figure it out, your doctor may want you to have a test called a ...

A heart perfusion imaging scan, or myocardial perfusion scan, is a test that tells doctors how well a person’s heart pumps blood. Doctors may use this test when diagnosing the cause of chest pain or ...

What Is a PET Scan? A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is a type of imaging study that can help doctors see what’s happening inside your body and how it’s working. This can help them understand ...

A federal judge said Cleveland State University violated the Fourth Amendment when it used software to scan a student’s bedroom, a practice that has grown during the Covid-19 pandemic. By Amanda ...
