Title
End-to-End Testing for Boards and Systems Using Boundary Scan
Abstract
ICs with IEEE 1149.1 Boundary Scan (BS) Architecture(a.k.a. JTAG) have been widely used in board level designto increase the testability. An end-to-end test methodologythat utilizes BS architecture for testing boards andsystems throughout the product life cycle is proposed. Theproposed test methodology includes a programmable dynamicBS test architecture and a series of test modulesthat take advantage of the test architecture for completefault coverage. Proposed design-for-testability (DFT)techniques guarantee the co-existence of BS testing withother system functions, such as in-system programming(ISP) and DSP JTAG emulation. At board level, programmabledynamic scan chains are used in a divide-andconquerfashion to increase the flexibility in the developmentphase (or design verification testing (DVT)). Besides,since the DFT techniques are programmable, theycan be used as design-for-diagnosis (DFD) to increase diagnosis resolution during DVT. Address Scan Port (ASP)chips are used to enable multi-drop test bus architecturefor backplane testing as well as system embedded testing.Other advanced techniques, such as analog subsystemtesting and board-level built-in self-test, as well ashow to re-use BS architecture in in-circuit testing (ICT)and manufacture testing are also parts of the proposedmethodology that takes advantage of BS architecture toprovide full scale testing for systems.
