Boundary scan test system supplier XJTAG says it is moving closer to integrating its debugging software XJAnalyser with an oscilloscope, following talks with several manufacturers.
The motivation for this is the proliferation of ball grid arrays (BGAs).
The XJAnalyser allows the user to see the logical state of the BGA device. They can then see a visual indication of the current state of a pin and has the ability to change its condition.
XJAnalyser can also make a pin oscillate allowing an oscilloscope to trace out a signal that originates under a BGA.
The company said it is looking to take this further by working in partnership with manufacturers to develop an integrated product - with the 'XJAnalyser App' included as standard.
Building on its Technology Partnership programme, XJTAG is interested to hear from other test equipment manufacturers who would like to extend their test capability to include a boundary scan testing solution within their products.
