New JTAG module simplifies high-speed integration of boundary-scan within Aeroflex 4200 Series ICT
(Technology News, 17 Jun 2008 )
JTAG Technologies, a leading provider of boundary-scan test tools and an Aeroflex technology partner, has announced the availability of the JT 2147/AGP boundary-scan interface for use with Aeroflex high-performance In-Circuit Testers (ICTs). With the availability of the JT 2147/AGP, both current and previous generation 4200 Series systems can be more easily upgraded with a high-performance JTAG Technologies boundary-scan controller.
The JT 2147/AGP provides an enhanced method for bringing boundary-scan Test Access Port (TAP) signals close to the point of contact within the ICT system. This technique greatly improves signal integrity and simplifies fixture design. A single JT 2147/AGP can be installed on the Aeroflex GPIO custom interface module and provides ground isolation plus a switching matrix to route TAP signals to pins on the test fixture.
Users of integrated JTAG Technologies products benefit from off-line, fixtureless test preparation and the re-use of stand-alone applications at other stages of the product life cycle such as prototyping and field service.
