At-speed in-system programming of flash memory enhanced with ScanWorks FPGA-Controlled Test and IJTAG

August 25, 2015

Richardson, TX (August 25, 2015) – Programming memory in-system, or after the devices have been soldered to a circuit board, is the most efficient method, but the challenge for design and manufacturing engineers has always been the slow speeds of the process. Now, enhancements to ASSET® InterTech’s ScanWorks® platform for embedded instruments can speed up in-system programming by a factor of 1,000, reducing programming times from 10 or more minutes to one or two seconds. ASSET (www.asset-intertech.com) is a leading supplier of software and hardware debug, validation and test tools.
