THREE DIMENSIONAL AND DOUBLE SIDED PROBING: THE WAY TO 'SINGLE PASS TESTING'

Modern large double-sided board designs and the latest high density packages increasingly make test access a challenge that only the Flying Scorpion can meet. To overcome access limitations, the Flying Scorpion fully exploits a patented dual motion concept, in which shuttles drive on frictionless air bearings across a top and a bottom stator to accurately and quickly position 3-dimensional probes. This enables landing on selected test points simultaneously on both sides of the board. So no matter how test access is distributed between the top and bottom side of your board, the Flying Scorpion will always provide a Single Pass test solution. The planar motor concept guarantees a wear-free and no-maintenance operation. The probes can automatically recognize any obstacle and adjust the targeting angle by up to 6 degrees in any direction.

The 3-dimensional joystick-like variable angle Probe module provides the probe with a freedom of movement up to ± 6° from the vertical. This combined with its double-sided probing capability provides test access not available on conventional single sided moving probe testers.

Now you can test boards whose layout, size, and technology used to defy testing on traditional in-circuit testers and 'moving' probers.

BOUNDARY SCAN ON FLYING SCORPION

Boundary Scan test (JTAG) is a test methodology based on IEEE 1149.1 standard. Compliant Semiconductors, when installed on a circuit board, allow the interconnecting nets and digital clusters such as memory devices to be tested using a simple external physical set-up. Boundary Scan (JTAG) also offers a comprehensive board-level protocol for programming flash and other programmable devices.

Integration of boundary scan test into the flying probe environment translates into important advantages;

• Dramatic increase in test coverage by combined use of flying probe and boundary scan resources
• More efficient shorts test using flying probes and higher throughput
• Reusable Boundary Scan test patterns
