Design for Testability Consulting
Design for Testability is one of the most cost-effective
ways of tackling test problems.
It is only effective, however, if it is
performed properly and at the proper time.
We can work with your
- managers to
develop guidelines,
- designers to provide on-the job consulting, and
- test engineers to help evaluate and implement testability
requirements.
We have expertise with the
- JTAG/IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan,
- IEEE 1149.4 Mixed Signal boundary-scan
- IEEE-1149.5 System Level Bus,
- MIL-STD-2165 US Navy's Testability Standard,
- British Standard 013 Design for Testability Guidelines,
- Surface Mount Technology Association Testability Guidelines TP-101C 2002
Our engineers
were involved with the standardization of IEEE 1149.5 and IEEE
1149.4. We were one of the first to produce Testability Analysis
Reports approved by the US Navy and are active in bringing about other
testability standards. We have also helped a number of commercial
companies profit from lower overall test, repair and bad product delivery
penalty costs, by making their designs more testable.
In 2002 Louis Ungar led a team of world-wide industry experts to develop the
Surface Mount Technology Association's Testability Guidelines.
To assist in our consulting, we utilize The Testability Director software,
that scores the inherent testability of a design at the chip (ASIC), board and
system levels.
