SFX/USL1149-x Scanflex Boundary Scan controller supports USB2.0 and 10/100 MBit Ethernet interfaces and is offered in performance classes A, B and C.
The models differ in the upper TCK frequency limit (maximum of 20, 50 or 80 MHz, respectively) as well as the implementation level of the enhanced Space II chip set for high performance scan operations. Integrated Fastscale technology allows an upgrade of the controller’s performance class on the fly. Include Adycs II to compensate run time delays and Hyscan for splitting of serial TAP vectors and parallel I/O vectors.
In combination with SFX transceiver and I/O modules, USB2.0 and LAN controlled Boundary Scan systems with up to eight concurrent TAP and 31 additional functional modules can be configured. All TAP provide programmable input and output voltage, input and output impedance, TCK frequency and delay compensation, as well as read-back of output signals and a relay-controlled power signal.
Supported by System Cascon from version 4.2.1 on.

Agilent Technologies Inc. announced that IDT (Integrated Device Technology Inc.), a communications IC company, has purchased eight Agilent BIST Assist production test cards to upgrade its 93000 Series SOC Tester. The upgrade allows testing of high-speed links in loopback/BIST mode for speeds up to 6.4 Gb/s.
Historically, as interface bandwidths in consumer devices such as televisions, set-top boxes and PCs increase, the cost of test rises exponentially. Manufacturers are also encountering consumer-pricing pressures. Agilent created the Built-in Self-Test Assist (BIST) card to break the trend of escalating costs for high-speed links in production and to act as an extension to the SOC tester.
The card features adjustable and precise jitter injection, DC access and at-speed level control. Said to have a flexible and wide application span for graphics, chipset, switches and SerDes devices in BIST or loopback mode (SATA, AMB, PCI Express and Fibre Channel, for example) that require high-fault coverage and high-speed data rates.
