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.

Mastering PCB Floor Planning
08/28/2025 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAPlacement of PCB components is far more than just fitting components onto a board. It’s a strategic and critical foundational step, often called “floor planning,” that profoundly impacts the board’s performance, reliability, manufacturability, and cost. Floor planning ties into the solvability perspective, with performance and manufacturability being the other two competing perspectives for addressing and achieving success in PCB design.
Elementary Mr. Watson: Routing Hunger Games—May the Traces Be Ever in Your Favor
08/26/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonI’d like to share a harsh truth, and I say this as a friend: PCB designers are often their own worst enemy. It’s rarely the complexity of the circuit, the last-minute changes from mechanical, the limited enclosure space, or the ever-expanding list of design rules that send projects to the dust heap of failed boards. More often, it's our own decisions, made too quickly and narrowly, and with too little foresight, that sabotage an otherwise good design.
Target Condition: Floor Planning Without a Floor
08/27/2025 | Kelly Dack -- Column: Target ConditionBy a show of hands, how many PCB designers have been asked to start a layout without a board outline, keep-out zones, or even height constraints? How many have had to work within a specific enclosure before the schematic was finalized? If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. Starting a PCB layout without critical constraints is like hiring an interior designer to buy furniture and carpet for a house you haven’t even purchased yet, or, even worse, trying to fit four bedrooms' worth of furniture in a one-room cabin.
I-Connect007 Editor's Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
08/22/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007In this week’s roundup, we have a variety of articles covering design, manufacturing, sustainability, and, of course, tariff negotiations. We have a milestone anniversary to celebrate as well, with Dan Beaulieu about to publish his 1,000th column. When does Dan even sleep? Here’s to hoping that we have 1,000 more weeks of "It’s Only Common Sense."
