Press Releases

Cadence announced that its OrCAD® Capture has been enhanced to now include XJTAG® DFT Assistant, an easy-to-use interface that significantly increases the design for test (DFT) and debug capabilities of the schematic capture and PCB design system. The software interface enables early detection and repair of circuit board errors at the design stage, before hardware is produced.

XJTAG announces extended capability to its high-speed In-System Programming (ISP) technology, XJFlash. For the first time, this brings the benefits of XJFlash to memory devices connected to the processor sub-system of dual ARM-Cortex-A9 based FPGAs, such as the industry’s leading Xilinx Zynq and Altera Cyclone V SoCs. Experience programming times as much as 20 times faster than existing solutions.

XJTAG officially launches the XJTAG DFT Assistant for Altium Designer. Developed by XJTAG, the free software extension for Altium Designer significantly increases the Design for Test capabilities of the unified schematic capture and PCB design system. The XJTAG DFT Assistant for Altium Designer provides engineers with a free, easy to use extension to check if boundary scan chains are correctly connected and terminated at the schematic capture stage, long before the PCB is produced.
