circuits, checks power rail levels and can eliminate custom test jigs.
The board improves the test coverage for a Unit Under Test (UUT) by verifying the signals through to the external connections. In the event of a board failure, fault diagnosis times can be reduced by as much as half, as the board eradicates the need for loopbacks and cable swapping.
Has 208 digital and 16 analogue (8xADCs and 8xDACs) I/Os, provides customers developing JTAG and non-JTAG boards with a reusable alternative to traditional test fixtures.
“The XJIO board was developed predominantly for testing circuits with large amounts of digital I/O such as on network cards - particularly if the board has more outputs than inputs or vice-versa,” said Dominic Plunkett, CTO. “It features over 200 digital I/Os and this density can be expanded to many thousands by daisy-chaining the XJIO boards together using the reconfigurable external JTAG connector.”
Can be powered from USB, for quick and portable test setup. If more than 80mA of current is required, there is a connector for a standard 12V power supply. All connectors are standard IDC. Switches and LEDs enable additional test control.
