Making the Most of Boundary Scan

Since its adoption as an IEEE standard in 1990, boundary scan has offered engineers an important tool for testing complex circuit boards.  Harry Bleeker of JTAG Technologies, who initiated the work on the original concepts in 1985, discusses the potential of this technology in meeting quality-assurance challenges
