With the recent
release of our new development tool, JTAG ProVision, JTAG
Technologies expands its lead in delivering innovative
boundary-scan technology. JTAG ProVision’s speed and ease-of-use
enable you to rapidly prepare boundary-scan test and ISP
applications. It accommodates non-boundary-scan devices
automatically with a unique mapping system that you may re-use,
project to project. It also supports every level and type of
project design without complications associated with net merging,
from the smallest board to complex multi-board assemblies. JTAG
ProVision is fully compatible with our complete line of
stand-alone and integrated production alternatives. For existing
customers, we also offer an attractive conversion program — for
more information online,

info@jtag.com. You may also call 1-877-FOR-JTAG (367-5824) in
North America, or ++31 40 295 0870 elsewhere.

When it comes to
the latest in semiconductor technologies, NAND flash is in the
spotlight. Today, NAND flash is used in many familiar
applications: digital cameras, MP3 players, mobile phones and the
list goes on. When there’s a premium on competitively priced
high-density memory, NAND flash is the technology of choice. NAND
flash also requires a more complex programming routine compared to
older NOR flash. Since NAND flash devices frequently contain some
faults, it’s up to the programming system to program around the
defective sectors. So if you’re planning to use NAND flash in your
next project, you can be confident that the flash programming
tools from JTAG Technologies will handle NAND flash algorithms
easily and simply. Libraries delivered with our development tools
include built-in knowledge to automate the generation of quality
applications. Read
more about our programming support for NAND flash and other
special devices ...

Using the PADS
PCB Design Solution from Mentor Graphics? If so, you’ll want to
check out JTAG Visualizer and the shortcut we’ve built in that
lets you see your boundary-scan test results right on the
schematic or layout of your board. JTAG Visualizer includes a
utility that converts the .asc and .txt output files from your
PADS system, allowing you to quickly pinpoint the source of
boundary-scan test failures. To find out more about JTAG
Visualizer,
