Altium Designe r® Integrates XJTAG ® to Boost PCB Testability The Altium Designer PCB development environment has powerful features that help engineers manage t“heir designs from schematic to product. Altium sought XJTAG’s expertise in boundary scan to extend Altium Designer with Design-For-Test features that enable designers to find and correct errors and harness boundary scan’s power to maximise testability. ” Altium Designer is trusted by engineers for its rich features, which not implementation of boundary scan Altium Designer as an XJDeveloper only accelerate design capture and help overcome layout and routing chains to allow designers to identify project. XJDeveloper is the XJTAG challenges, but also help verify mechanical fit and coordinate the entire and correct potential problems during test development environment, design-to-production process. Its wide-ranging capabilities extend beyond schematic capture, thereby avoiding which is widely used to accelerate design entry, to include managing design assets to facilitate reuse, costly board respins. XJTAG Chain debugging of prototype hardware, checking component pricing and availability, verifying design files, and Checker verifies the boundary scan and to augment traditional in-circuit supporting design with advanced technologies such as rigid-flex PCB. chain is correctly routed and is in and functional testing on the compliance with DFT best practices, production line resulting in increased “Our aim is to ensure that Altium achieved,” explains Daniel Fernsebner. reporting any connection, termination or test coverage and faster cycle times. Designer is always the industry “The XJTAG boundary scan system compliance pin errors to the user. The reference, delivering high-value provides engineers with a complete XJTAG Access Viewer, which can be Daniel Fernsebner sums up the functionality that maximises design Design for Testing experience all activated at any time with a single click, result, “By combining XJTAG’s efficiency and empowers users to within the unified design environment gives an intuitive colour coded view of wealth of experience in solving PCB achieve the highest possible PCB they know and trust.” the JTAG test access achievable across issues and 30 years of PCB design quality, manufacturability and reliability,” an entire design, on each net. All the technology from Altium, we’ve been says Daniel Fernsebner, Corporate The result of the successful analysis is completed without leaving able to provide the most accessible Director, Technology Partnerships and collaboration between the two the Altium Designer environment.
