Targeted fault types

The objective is to find faults early and efficiently POST-ASSEMBLY TEST

Optical ICT Boundary Functional System Assembly Inspection MDA Scan Test Test

 Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) can verify component P/N, placement, and orientation are correct

• UUT is NOT powered

• Components’ functionality cannot be verified

• UUT’s nets cannot be verified

• Automated X-Ray inspection can be also used for structural test POST-ASSEMBLY TEST

Optical ICT Boundary Functional System Assembly Inspection MDA Scan Test Test

 Manufacturing Defect Analyzer (MDA) test can verify component placement and orientation

• To be effective, MDA requires a bed of nails fixture (In-Circuit Test – ICT) and access to all components

• Some components with limited access (fine-pitch SMTs and BGAs) limit MDA test effectiveness

• MDA cannot verify some Unit Under Test (UUT) nets and cannot verify the UUT is operating correctly BOUNDARY SCAN TEST

Optical ICT Boundary Functional System Assembly Inspection MDA Scan Test Test

 Boundary Scan provides operational test and is used for in-system programming

• Tests integrated circuits of UUT and interconnects between IC’s

• Provides higher (and more accurate) fault diagnostics

• Works mostly with digital components, very little analog components coverage

• UUT is not operated “at-speed” and is not operated as it would in “real life” FUNCTIONAL TEST

Optical ICT Boundary Functional System Assembly Inspection MDA Scan Test Test

 Functional test verifies that the UUT operates as it would in “real life” and “at speed”

• Full parametric functional test of UUT verifies the UUT will function as required (functional test virtually guarantees that a UUT that passes the test will operate as required when installed in the final product)

• Full test coverage of all digital & analog components as well as all UUT nets

• Fault diagnostics may be difficult depending on UUT design and availability of test connectors SYSTEM TEST

Optical ICT Boundary Functional System Assembly Inspection MDA Scan Test Test

 System test verifies the final product operates as required

• System test is always required on military and commercial avionics programs

• Verifies that the end product (or system) functions as required

• Rarely performed without running functional test first on all subassemblies

• Very limited fault diagnostic TYPICAL FUNCTIONAL TEST SYSTEM INTEGRATED TEST

Optical ICT Boundary Functional SystemSystem Assembly Inspection MDA Scan Test TestTest

 Using the advantages of both Boundary Scan and Functional test, the Integrated Test provides

• FULL TEST COVERAGE - Tests all circuits of UUT (analog & digital) as well as all UUT nets

• Full parametric functional test of UUT verifies the UUT will function as required

• High-performance in-system programming

• Higher (and more accurate) fault diagnostics

• Functional and boundary-scan tests are highly complementary

• PXI platform enables combined testing and reduced capital and operating expenditures

• Integrated test steps in ATEasy save development time Overview fault coverage and failure localization

Boundary Scan (JTAG) FUNCTIONAL INSTRUMENTATION Hardware

Application example #1 Functional Test & Boundary Scan - GOALS

• Creation of a generic functional test bench for several architectures. • Easy development and integration of Bscan tools. • Simplification of development. • Speed of implementation. • Increase in the scope of the test. • More accurate diagnostics and failure localisation. • Very good test time/diagnostics time ratio. • Possibility of programming components (FLASH, EEPROM, PLD) • Easier board repair and maintenance. • Simplified production test process (2 steps reduced to 1). • Reduction in the number of test tools (1 instead of 2).

 This tests allows the confirmation of the Analogue Conversion part and the analogue signal generation.  It is unnecessary to perform a self-test to confirm this function, the Bscan is enough.  The failure diagnostics are focused more precisely Example of a Floating output test (0V)

 Using the Bscan allows easy control of the floating output  Using the power supply and the DMM allows the presence and the value of resistance R1 to be confirmed, together with the cluster formed by the and the transistor ADVANTAGES

 Creation of a generic functional test bench for several architectures.  Easy integration of Bscan tools.  Simplification of development.  Speed of implementation.  Increase in the scope of the test.  More accurate diagnostics.  Very good test time/diagnostics time ratio.  Simplified production test process (2 steps reduced to 1).  Reduction in the number of test tools (1 instead of 2). RESTRICTIONS

 With the Boundary Scan, we do not always work at the true board speed.  More care must be taken when cabling the test tools. (Rules must be observed)  Not (always) applicable to digital boards without Boundary Scan architecture. SUMMARY

 The combination of Boundary Scan with Functional test provides a fast and complete integrated test solution  Adding additional instruments (i.e. DIO, Scope) can further enhance test coverage  Full test coverage and enhanced diagnostics means shorter time-to-market for your products as well as reduced test & repair costs Victor Fernandes Tel: +33 9 71 20 89 65 E-mail : [email protected] www.geotestinc.com [email protected]
