Conducting product testing on printed circuit boards (PCBs) has the potential to become costly. Because of this, it’s easy for businesses to view PCB assembly testing as an expense without much value.

November 9, 2013. JTAG Technologies has announced its latest range of boundary-scan controller hardware for PCB assembly and system testing—the JT 5705 Series. This new design concept incorporates ...

Boundary scan offers clear advantages over technologies that require physical contact with a unit under test. It is also useful for ferreting out faults among the expensive, advanced semiconductor ...

In-circuit test (ICT) systems have been the leaders in using electrical means to look for structural defects in PCBs. They employ bed-of-nails fixtures to provide electrical access to as many as 7000 ...

The Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) formed in Europe in the late 1980s. Up until that time, most printed circuit boards (PCBs) were populated with chips that had exposed pins that were soldered through ...
