ABI Sentry counterfeit IC detector uses a combination of electronic parameter settings (voltage, frequency, source resistance and waveform) to generate a PinPrint for each pin of the IC being checked. Compares electrical signature of known components with suspect components. Can detect missing or incorrect dies, lack of bond wires, inaccurate pin-outs and pin impedance variations. Pass or fail results are returned after testing. Device library can be built by adding specific known good devices. Each device can have documents associated with it, such as photos of device markings and data sheets. Contains hardware required to analyze electrical characteristics of ICs with up to 256 pins. 256 pins+ devices can be tested by rotating the device (BGA, QFP) to permit all pins to be learned and compared. Is supplied with four 48-pin dual inline zero insertion force sockets. Weighs 8 lbs.

ScanVision tool suite for boundary scan design visualization performs multi-board design visualization at the layout and schematic level. Consists of Layout Visualizer, Schematic Visualizer and Virtual Schematic Visualizer. Database is generated by importing individual design data and interconnection referencing. Tools include Cascon Board Merger and Cascon Component Explorer. Performs interactive cross-probing between schematic and layout, selective labeling of pins, components and circuits, and tracking of signal paths via multiple boards with dynamic switching. Enables operations such as test coverage analysis, hardware debugging or graphical fault display far above the board boundaries up to system level. Has System Cascon v. 4.6.1.
