Hansatech Partners with XJTAG for Global Boundary Scan Test Solution

CAMBRIDGE, England (PRWEB) August 3, 2005

­ Hansatech Limited (http://www.hansatech.co.uk), a leading UK-based contract electronics manufacturer, has selected XJTAG Limited (http://www.xjtag.com) as its global boundary scan test solution partner.

The XJTAG boundary scan system will be implemented initially at UK manufacturing facilities at King’s Lynn and Cambridge, and subsequently at its Poole facility and at its partner’s production site. The XJTAG system integrates seamlessly with Hansatech’s in-circuit and functional test fixtures.

According to Hansatech, for many board types, the XJTAG system will eradicate the need to build a dedicated in-circuit test (ICT) fixture and this will enable it to reduce non-recurring engineering (NRE) expenses by up to £10k per printed circuit board type. Hansatech manufactures a significant number of diverse products each month of which around half can utilise XJTAG, either exclusively or in conjunction with functional, ICT or flying probe testing. These boards are typically high complexity, densely populated circuits with at least one JTAG device.

Tim Murrell, senior electronics engineer for Hansatech Limited, who is based at the King’s Lynn facility, said: “XJTAG represents the biggest single step in test diagnostics that I have seen in years. It is an extremely versatile and flexible boundary scan solution, which, unlike some JTAG test products, integrates seamlessly with other test equipment. Not only will it help to reduce our test NRE expenses but it will enable us to significantly improve our diagnosis times and test coverage on densely packed circuit boards which are increasingly populated with flip chips, ball grid array and chip scale devices.”

Hansatech offers turnkey sub-contract assembly services to a wide range of customers in diverse industry sectors from mobile and satellite communications, medical and industrial instrumentation to specialist consumer products.

“We looked at other competitive boundary scan test products, and some were as much as twice the cost, but found that XJTAG with its versatility, reusability of scripts and a high level of diagnostics made it the most cost-effective solution,” added Murrell. “We are also finding that offering a sophisticated boundary scan solution such as XJTAG gives us a competitive advantage in the market. Our OEM (original equipment manufacturer) customers are becoming more JTAG-aware and have been impressed that XJTAG can be utilised at the design and prototyping stage and right through into production, field support and repair ­ several customers already have their own XJTAG licence.”

The powerful and easy-to-use XJTAG Development System is designed to cut the cost and shorten the development cycle of electronic products and provides a unique solution that can test JTAG as well as non-JTAG devices. XJTAG can test a high proportion of a circuit including BGA and chip scale devices, SDRAMs, Ethernet controllers, video interfaces, flash memories, FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays), microprocessors and many other devices. XJTAG also enables In-System Programming of FPGAs, CPLDs (Complex Programmable Logic Devices) and flash memories.

The XJTAG Development System can migrate seamlessly through the product life cycle from early design to field support and repair. XJTAG enables circuit designers to shorten the development cycle and prototyping process by facilitating early test development, early design validation of CAD netlists, fast generation of complex functional tests and test re-use across circuits that utilise the same devices. XJTAG test scripts are also re-usable and portable across different boards due to the novel device-centric approach that the designers have adopted.

About XJTAG (http://www.xjtag.com)

XJTAG Limited is a specialist design and test tool developer. Its JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) development system offers a competitive solution for designers and developers of electronic circuits. Utilising XJTAG allows the circuit development and prototyping process to be shortened significantly by facilitating early test development, early design validation, fast development of functional tests and test re-use across circuits that utilise the same devices. The company is based in the UK at The Irwin Centre, Dry Drayton, Cambridge. XJTAG is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Cambridge Technology Group (http://www.cambridgetechgroup.com).

What is JTAG?

Advances in silicon design, such as increasing device density and, more recently, ball grid array (BGA) and chip scale packaging, have reduced the efficacy of traditional electronic circuit testing methods. In order to overcome these problems and others; some of the world’s leading silicon manufacturers combined to form the Joint Test Action Group (JTAG). The findings of this group were used as the basis for the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) standard 1149.1: Standard Test Access Port and Boundary Scan Architecture and subsequently the standard became known as JTAG.

Extech Introduces 600A True RMS AC and AC/DC Clamp Meters with NCV


Waltham, MA, USA (Vocus) March 24, 2010

Extech Instruments, makers of the best handheld test and measurement tools, introduces the new MA620 (AC) and MA640 (AC/DC) 600A True RMS clamp meters. Designed as high feature, high value autoranging clamp meters, the new MA620 and MA640 offer a host of advanced multimeter capabilities plus a built-in, non-contact voltage detector.

The affordable new clamp meters are compact and easy to hold while offering an ample 1.5? (40mm) jaw opening to accommodate conductors up to 750MCM. The large, illuminated, dual display is easy to see in poorly-lit job sites and features a 4-digit (6,000 count) readout complemented by a bargraph display. A thumb-dial selector is ergonomically placed for convenient, one-hand operation. Depending on a user?s applications, two models are available: AC-only (MA620) and AC/DC (MA640) current measurements.

Advanced digital multimeter functionality powers the new Extech clamp meters. The MA620 and -640 offer user-selectable auto- or manual-ranging plus class-leading measurement functions including: current, voltage, resistance, capacitance, frequency, duty cycle (dwell), diode and continuity tests ? plus temperature using the included Type K thermistor probe.

Convenient one-button functions include: HOLD to freeze a reading on the LCD; MAX/MIN to track and display maximum and minimum values; and REL to activate Relative mode for ?zeroing out? the meter, useful for improving the accuracy of DC current measurements.

One important safety tool that is built in to the new MA620 and MA640 is a non-contact voltage (NCV) detector. The detector quickly identifies the presence of voltage on live wires and alerts the user with a red LED indicator. The NCV function eliminates the need for a separate tester, offering users more value, added safety, and less tool bag clutter.

Answer by aviophage
You will be constructing experimental devices, for which you will need a complete machine shop and a selection of hand tools.

Sooner or later you will need a good cappuccino machine, or at least a drip coffee maker.
