Sumário:

This Design for Test Standards and Proposed Standards text belongs to the set of deliverables under the responsibility of FEUP and is intended to guide an applications-oriented approach to the area of testable circuits design. It is important to emphasise the applications-oriented approach underlying the development of this course material, essentially intended to be used in a laboratory environment, more than in a classroom environment. Hands-on exercises are therefore proposed at the end of some of its chapters, with more to be added in the near future.
Two types of additional resources are required to support the hands-on sessions:

  • A hardware complement to this text, in the form of a demonstration board that illustrates in practice the problems and possible solutions related to testing circuits with boundary scan.
  • A Windows application that enables the students to write and execute their own test programs.
The necessary information for manufacturing demonstration boards is attached as an annex at the end of chapter 5 (A case study of test program execution) and a set up diskette for the Windows boundary scan test controller application is included at the end of this document.
While the general principles of scan-based design for testability are de facto standards coming from the late 70s, the approval in 1990 of the IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan architecture and test access port greatly improved industry acceptance and made scan design techniques accessible to any designer. Greater relevance is therefore given to the IEEE 1149.X suite of design for test standards and proposed standards, with updates to be added as later releases of this text become available.
