New Application Note available
There is a new application note available on the XJTAG support website entitled, "Working with configured Xilinx and Altera devices".
Pull Resistors
Many of us have been designing electronics for years and haven’t really considered pull up and down resistor values. We just use the same old values like 10K. With some new silicon the leakage currents are higher than we have been used too. This means the pull resistors might not being doing the task we require. When there is a [...]
Functional Tests
This post highlights the “Functional Tests” screen in XJDeveloper. The “Functional Tests” screen is in the “Design For Test” section in XJDeveloper. It is used to indicate to XJTAG that part of a board has been tested in some way outside of XJTAG. Doing this will make the DFT test coverage figures more accurate, and means you can use XJTAG [...]
Debugging Connection Test – part 1
Note: This post was published in 2009 and was therefore accurate in XJTAG version 2.2. An updated version of this post is available here and should be used with XJTAG version 3.x. […]
Have an idea for XJTAG?
Suggest topics you'd like to see covered by future posts, for example: if you would like a post to be extended to give more detail about boundary scan and electronics testing in general a specific feature of XJTAG software and how to make the most of it topics of general electronics interest proposed new features for the XJTAG tools Please [...]
