Integration of Embedded JTAG Solutions in Flying Probe Tester (FPT)
The Flying Probe test procedure is a flexible solution for testing discrete analog components. With very precise needles (“probes”) Flying Probe testers are particularly suitable for small and medium production volumes.
The Flying Probe test’s disadvantage, its execution speed, can be reduced to the lowest level by combining FPT with Embedded JTAG Solutions.
A particular advantage of this combination is the ability to apply the probes as virtual Boundary Scan cells, allowing traces to be tested which were previously untestable with Embedded JTAG Solutions.
