Functional principle of the integration into an existing ATE system
JTAG/Boundary Scan – a versatile tool for integrating into an existing ATE system
You already have a test system and would like to integrate Boundary Scan?
Find our partners for integration with the respective GOEPEL electronic hardware and software.
Each test technology is limited in terms of fault or test coverage because there are certain fault types which can only be detected by a particular test technique. The following fault types can be distinguished:
| Electrically, but not optically detectable failures | Optically, but not electrically detectable failures |
|---|---|
Electrically defective component | Mechanically defective components (e.g. bent pins) |
Missing SMD and THT components, electrically testable | Missing SMD and THT components, electrically untestable (e.g. parallel capacitors, connectors) |
Open solder joints on SMD and THT components | Wrong component labels (e.g. wrong supplier, dielectric strength etc.) |
Misplaced SMD and THT components (e.g. wrong position, wrong height) | |
Wrongly polarized mechanical components (e.g. wrongly polarized connectors and sockets) | |
Insufficient solder joints, but with electrical contact |
Another important factor is the increase in complexity of current and future component assemblies. Models such as BGA, µBGA or Flip Chip can rarely be mechanically accessed. In order to attain an optimal or maximal test depth it makes sense to combine test technologies. GOEPEL electronic is one of the leading vendors of innovative test and inspection systems that provides extended solutions for the combination of JTAG/Boundary Scan with the Automated Inspection (AOI/AXI), Flying Probe testers, Functional Test systems and In-Circuit testers.
As a GOEPEL electronic customer you will find current softwareupdates for Boundary Scan integration at our customers' website www.goepel-genesis.com.
