HERNDON, VA – The International Electronics Manufacturing Initiative is surveying the industry to gauge the current adoption rate of boundary scan and identify any impediments to widespread use.

This results will be used to help iNEMI improve test implementation and coverage for electronics products, the organization said. iNEMI encourages the global supply chain to participate in the online survey.

“We want to hear about people’s experiences with boundary scan,” said Steve Butkovich, structural test manager for Cisco and co-chair of the iNEMI Boundary Scan Adoption Project. “We’re looking for input from the people who would use boundary scan, such as PCB designers, test engineers, engineering managers or design-for-test consultants, and from IC designers who would integrate boundary scan into their products. If they use boundary scan, we want to know how well it works – or doesn’t work; and if they do not use it, we would like to know why not.

 The survey is available through the end of February at inemi.org/boundary_scan_survey.
