ASSET(R) Earns Third Consecutive ``Best in Test'' Award; DFT Analyzer(TM) recognized as the first design-for-test (DFT) tool for boundary scan.RICHARDSON, Texas Richardson is a suburb in Dallas County and Collin County, Texas. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 91,803, while according to a 2006 estimate, the population had grown to 99,200. -- ASSET InterTech's (www.asset-intertech.com) new DFT DFT - discrete Fourier transform Analyzer, the industry's first design-for-test tool for boundary scan (IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 1149.1/JTAG), has been honored with a "Best In Test" award from Test & Measurement World, the electronic test industry's leading trade publication. This marks the third consecutive year that ASSET has earned Best In Test recognition. ASSET is an international leader in boundary-scan test and in-system programming (ISP (1) See in-system programmable. (2) (Internet Service Provider) An organization that provides access to the Internet. Connection to the user is provided via dial-up, ISDN, cable, DSL and T1/T3 lines. ). The previous two years, the company's ScanWorks(R) JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) An IEEE standard for boundary scan technology. See scan technology. JTAG - Joint Test Action Group system earned Best In Test honors for being the first boundary scan system to support the testing of high-speed AC-coupled buses under the IEEE 1149.6 standard and for its TopCAT(TM) technology which significantly accelerates the automatic generation of JTAG tests. "For ScanWorks to win a Best In Test for two years running and now for DFT Analyzer to win one - we're just very excited that all of the hard work has paid off with industry recognition," said Alan Sguigna, vice president of sales and marketing for ASSET InterTech. "It is particularly heartening heart·en tr.v. heart·ened, heart·en·ing, heart·ens To give strength, courage, or hope to; encourage. See Synonyms at encourage. Adj. 1. this year because DFT Analyzer is the first in its class as a boundary scan DFT tool. We expect that DFT Analyzer will drive sound boundary-scan DFT practices deeper into the design process and that will generate significant benefits for manufacturers." ASSET's ScanWorks is currently deployed by leading electronics companies such as Cisco, Lucent Technologies, Agilent, BAE, Hewlett-Packard, Ericsson, Alcatel, SBS See Small Business Server. , Intel, Raytheon, Solectron, Rockwell Collins, EMC (1) (EMC Corporation, Hopkinton, MA, www.emc.com) The leading supplier of storage products for midrange computers and mainframes. Founded in 1979 by Richard J. Egan and Roger Marino, EMC has developed advanced storage and retrieval technologies for the world's largest companies. and many others. DFT Analyzer reduces manufacturing and test costs by validating the boundary-scan DFT features in a circuit board design before any prototypes are assembled. This can reduce expensive design re-spins and schedule disruptions that often result from the discovery of inadequate test coverage when a design moves from development into manufacturing. DFT Analyzer also determines the extent of the boundary-scan test coverage and recommends changes in the design that would increase coverage. About ASSET InterTech ASSET InterTech, Inc. develops, markets, sells, and supports boundary-scan testability and in-system programming (ISP) products worldwide. ASSET's affordable ScanWorks(R) environment is easy yet powerful.
