JTAG ProVision 2020 Greatly Simplifies Today's Test Challenges
August 26, 2020 | JTAG TechnologiesEstimated reading time: 1 minute
JTAG Technologies, a global leader in test solutions and products based on boundary-scan, recently released a completely new edition of its PCBA Test Development software, known as JTAG ProVision.
Working from customer feedback and utilizing the expertise of its design team, JTAG Technologies says it has “further simplified the processes for testing modern PCB assemblies fitted with miniature components in highly integrated packages.” The updated software “Includes many novel features to create a faster, more versatile system that addresses the needs of test and design engineers through the next decade and beyond”
JTAG ProVision 2020 helps you to develop, manufacture and test electronic products with higher quality at lower costs in shorter time spans.
This latest release addresses all the challenges of cost-effective testing throughout a product's life-cycle.
JTAG ProVision 2020 greatly simplifies all engineering tasks. It enables generation of reliable and repeatable tests with high fault coverage. DFT tools for initial design assessment and auto test generators are included for rapid deployment of effective structural tests. Structural and functional testing can be combined with high-speed device in-system programming. Test and programming applications can be re-used from design debug through to repair.
Additional modules further allow improved coverage analysis from the early stages of design and allow test and programming applications to be integrated within third party test solutions with ease. ProVision’s intuitive user interface helps to provide a consistent approach to solving problems across all disciplines.

Elementary Mr. Watson: Retro Routers vs. Modern Boards—The Silent Struggle on Your Screen
06/26/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonThere's a story about a young woman preparing a holiday ham. Before putting it in the pan, she cuts off the ends. When asked why, she shrugs and says, "That's how my mom always did it." She asks her mother, who gives the same answer. Eventually, the question reaches Grandma, who laughs and says, "Oh, I only cut the ends off because my pan was too small." This story is a powerful analogy for how many PCB designers approach routing today.

Cadence AI Autorouter May Transform the Landscape
06/19/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazinePatrick Davis, product management director with Cadence Design Systems, discusses advancements in autorouting technology, including AI. He emphasizes a holistic approach that enhances placement and power distribution before routing. He points out that younger engineers seem more likely to embrace autorouting, while the veteran designers are still wary of giving up too much control. Will AI help autorouters finally gain industry-wide acceptance?
Beyond Design: The Metamorphosis of the PCB Router
06/18/2025 | Barry Olney -- Column: Beyond DesignThe traditional PCB design process is often time-consuming and labor-intensive. Routing a complex PCB layout can consume up to 30% of a designer’s time, and addressing this issue is not straightforward. We have all encountered this scenario: You spend hours setting the constraints and finally hit the Go button, only to be surprised by the lack of visual appeal and the obvious flaws in the result.
