With the explosive growth in the use of microcontrollers, engineers who design products in fields ranging from computers to industrial electronics need to test and debug circuits that include ...

All electronic systems carry the possibility of failure. An embedded system has intrinsic intelligence that facilitates the possibility of predicting failure and mitigating its effects. This two-part ...

With the proliferation of IoT devices come increased embedded security attacks. Historically, embedded system engineers have ignored device-layer security despite the many areas of embedded devices ...

No matter what type of embedded system you build, you must test it. Tests give us a warm fuzzy feeling that our system works correctly under specific environmental and operational conditions. While ...

Taken literally, embedded test is just that: test capabilities that exist wholly embedded within a system. Power-on self-test is an example as is a built-in performance-monitoring feature programmed ...

So you have power circuit breakers at your facility, and they seem to be just fine, sitting there quietly doing their job. What you may not realize is that even though your circuit breakers are ...

Every developer and team I’ve ever met has wanted to deliver quality firmware to their customers. No one starts out saying, “I want to deliver a buggy, unusable product to my customer.” Yet, how often ...

Test points for hybrid ATPG/LBIST applications make it easier to reach the ISO 26262 standard of 90% stuck-at coverage for in-system test. The remarkable growth in automotive IC design has prompted a ...
