Boundary Scan Technology can not only test the logical functions of chips or PCBs but also check for faults in the connections between IC (Integrated Circuit) and PCB (Printed Circuit Board). Therefore, it has become mainstream in the design for testability of digital systems. The IEEE established the relevant standard, IEEE 1149.1, in 1990, which … Read more
In 1896, Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi achieved the first wireless communication in human history. From then on, humanity opened the door to the world of radio. Guglielmo Marconi (1874-1937) The radio telegraph at that time used a spark-gap transmitter, and the transmitted signal content was Morse code. This radio telegraph could not receive and send … Read more
In the late 19th century, humanity invented the wireless telegraph, thus beginning the exploration of the wireless world. The wireless telegraph machines of the time used a spark-gap transmitter, primarily to transmit Morse code. Early wireless telegraph machines, with the Morse code design in the lower left corner This telegraph machine could not receive and … Read more
Introduction to JTAG JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) is an international standard testing protocol (IEEE 1149.1 compliant), primarily used for internal testing of chips. Most advanced devices today support the JTAG protocol, such as DSPs and FPGAs. The standard JTAG interface consists of 4 lines: TMS, TCK, TDI, and TDO, which correspond to mode selection, … Read more
