What is Boundary Scan? What is a scan test?

Boundary Scan is an electrical test method, detecting structural errors in circuits. Scan test essentially means “testing at the periphery (boundaries) of a circuit”.

In order to implement this sort of testing, GOEPEL electronic has developed the principle of interaction of various hardware components – interplay between

• Controller,
• I/O Module,
• TAP Transceiver and
• UUT.

All GOEPEL electronic hardware products are completely supported in the JTAG/Boundary Scan software platform SYSTEM CASCON. Thereby, the test programs are cross-compatible between the controllers.

The integrated JTAG/Boundary Scan software environment can be utilised throughout the entire product life cycle.
