Scorpion Technologies and
Corelis combine the FlyingScorpion
with Boundary-Scan to produce a test solution with complete
test coverage and high-speed in-system programming
Utilizing the benefits of both the
FlyingScorpion and Boundary-Scan,
test procedures can be created in a minimal time frame
that provide full test coverage of an entire board assembly.

Cerritos, CA, June 9, 2003
-- Scorpion Technologies, Inc. and Corelis Inc., recently
integrated the Scorpion Technologies Flying Probe with the
Corelis ScanPlus Boundary-Scan tools, producing a unified test
system. By integrating the Flying Probe with Boundary-Scan, a
test methodology is created that allows for the comprehensive
testing of board assemblies that include analog, digital, and
mixed-signal subsections, along with providing full test
coverage of inaccessible pins in package types such as BGAs. The
integrated solution also allows in-system programming of CPLDs
and Flash Memories.
The integration of the Scorpion
Technologies FlyingScorpion with the Corelis ScanPlus
Boundary-Scan tools is performed via an intuitive software
interface that allows for the inclusion of complete
Boundary-Scan test, CPLD and Flash programming steps by simply
including the proper icon into a test program. Faults that are
detected by the Boundary-Scan portion of the test are clearly
displayed, providing fault-diagnostics down to the net and pin
level.
"We’re very excited about this
opportunity to work together with Corelis to provide test
engineers with a unified test methodology. By combining the
Flying Probe with Boundary-Scan, we are now able to support the
testing and in-system programming of extremely large, dense, and
complex board assemblies containing IC package types that were
previously inaccessible to the FlyingScorpion" said Clayton
Depue, President of Scorpion North America.
"Scorpion has acquired an excellent
reputation in providing high quality test systems including
their unique double sided moving probe test system. Now, Corelis
Boundary-Scan customers can reuse in production, the
Boundary-Scan test vectors that were created in the lab, using
the FlyingScorpion and extend the test coverage to digital
portions of the board with no test access", said Jim Rodgers,
Technical Marketing Manager at Corelis Inc., "The combined test
methodologies of the FlyingScorpion and Boundary-Scan, allow for
flexible and extensive test procedures to be produced within a
very limited time frame and at a substantially reduced cost as
compared with fixture based testing".
Boundary-Scan is an embedded IC
technology for in-system programming and testing of digital
circuit boards and components that have been standardized as
IEEE Std 1149.1. Corelis’ ScanPlus Boundary-Scan tools include
hardware and software products offering exceptional ease-of-use
combined with advanced technical innovation. Boundary-Scan
operates as the perfect companion to the FlyingScorpion.
