ScanExpress TPG (Test Pattern Generator)
The ScanExpress TPG™ Intelligent Test Pattern Generator is a
state-of-the-art automatic boundary-scan test pattern generation
tool that takes the process of boundary-scan automation to a
whole new level in performance and ease of use. ScanExpress TPG
automatically generates test patterns that facilitate the
pin-level fault detection and isolation of all boundary-scan
testable nets on a printed circuit board (PCB). ScanExpress TPG
also creates test vectors to detect faults on the pins of non
scannable components such as clusters and memories that are
surrounded by scannable devices. ScanExpress TPG accepts most
industry recognized CAE/CAD netlists.
ScanExpress TPG provides an integrated development environment
(IDE) in which the user can generate boundary-scan tests from
scratch, invoke the ScanExpress DFT Analyzer™ to produce test
coverage reports, and invoke ScanExpress Runner™ to execute
generated tests, all from a single Graphical User Interface
(GUI). The user starts with the basic board design files, adds
supplemental information, generates test vectors, creates test
coverage reports, and executes the tests by using the
descriptive icons located on the shortcuts bar.
By utilizing ScanExpress TPG, both experienced and novice users
can create boundary-scan test vectors in a fraction of the time
it takes to develop these test vectors using legacy test pattern
generators. Test development time is greatly reduced by
automating and integrating many of the tasks that the user
previously had to perform manually.
ScanExpress TPG greatly reduces the number of keystrokes and
mouse clicks and eliminates text editing wherever possible. By
maximizing the automation behind the complete process,
boundary-scan test procedures can be developed with the least
amount of time and effort while ensuring that the final test
procedure is of the highest possible quality.
ScanExpress TPG also supports IEEE-1149.6, SerDes devices, BIST
(Built-In Self-Test), and hierarchical bridge devices such as
the TI
8996 ASP, TI 8997 Scan Path Linker, National SCANPSC110F,
National SCANSTA111,
National SCANSTA112, Firecron JTS06Bu, and Corelis ScanBridge. For complete information on
ScanExpress TPG, please refer to the detailed datasheet for
this product.
