Abstract

The VICTORY boundary-scan toolset offers fault-dictionary diagnosis of virtual logic clusters, using the diagnostic data provided by a simulator. Using simulation software such as LASAR V6, a test developer can fault simulate the cluster-under-test and produce a fault dictionary in standard LSRTAP format. At run time on a tester, VlCTORY´s Boundary-Scan Intelligent Diagnostics (BSID) module uses the LSRTAP files as part of its diagnostic database to isolate a reported failure and diagnose the fault. This paper discusses the implementation and requirements of this new capability, which is available for L-Series and ZI800-Series ATE as well as third-party testers
