XJTAG is a specialist design and test tool developer.

The XJTAG Development System aims to address the market need for a cost-effective solution for testing printed circuit boards populated with BGA and chip scale devices. Such devices cannot always be effectively tested by traditional methods such as flying probes, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes and X-ray systems. XJTAG allows the circuit development and prototyping process to be shortened significantly by facilitating early test development, early design validation and test re-use across circuits that use the same devices. The system abstracts engineers from the complexity of the IEE1149.1 standard. Scripts can be quickly compiled to achieve high test coverage, while allowing engineers to adopt a common toolset and to preserve, share and re-use tests throughout the product lifecycle. XJTAG offers a FREE board setup and 30 day evaluation service for further details go to www.xjtag.com
