GÖPEL electronic announces the availability of the first products for extended JTAG/boundary scan solutions based on the hardware platform Scanflex. Add new capabilities for analog and mixed-signal test.

Three PCI-based boundary scan controllers (SFX Controller) of various performance classes will be available, with six different TAP-Transceivers (SFX Transceiver) and an I/O module (SFX Module) for parallel, digital I/O. The product family will be expanded to include USB, PXI, VXI and fire wire controllers as well as TAP 8 and TAP 16 gang tranceivers.

A Scanflex system is controlled by a SFX controller. The PCI-based SFX/PCI1149 is available in three performance classes: A, B and C, with a max. TCK frequency of 20, 50 or 80 MHz, respectively. Integrated Fastscale technology allows upgrades “on the fly” through software while it is inside the host PC. Controllers include the ADYCS II feature to compensate for signal propagation delay, as well as HYSCAN for  data synchronization of serial and parallel vectors.

The portfolio transceivers includes desktop solutions for 2, 4, 6 and 8 TAP configurations, as well as compact versions with 2 and 4 TAP for more rugged environments. Include 32 dynamic, parallel digital I/O, two analog I/O channels, three static digital I/O and trigger lines. Have removable TAP Interface Cards (TIC). The first available TIC – a single ended interface with line drivers supporting TAP cable up to 5 feet long – provides programmability for input threshold, output voltage, input and output impedance, TCK frequency, delay compensation, a relay controlled power signal and read-back capability of TAP output signals.

SFX5296 provides 96 parallel I/O channels. Each is individually configurable as input, output, bi-directional or Tri-State. Feature Unstress protection and voltage programmability for groups of 32 I/O.
