GOPEL Releases JTAG Tools For SCANFLEX
Written by Andy Shaughnessy
Tuesday, 19 July 2005
JENA, Germany – GÖPEL Electronic has released the first products for extended JTAG / Boundary Scan solutions based on its new hardware platform SCANFLEX. GÖPEL electronic manufactures IEEE 1149.1 compliant test and in-system configuration tools.
SCANFLEX is reportedly adding capabilities for analog and mixed-signal test. Initially, three PCI-based SCANFLEX Boundary Scan controllers of various performance classes will be available, together with six different SCANFLEX TAP-Transceiver and a SCANFLEX I/O module for parallel, digital I/O. The SCANFLEX 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 Boundary Scan controller. The first SFX controllers are the PCI-based SFX/PCI1149-(A/B/C), available in three performance classes: A, B and C. The main difference between these controllers is their maximum TCK frequency of 20, 50 or 80 MHz, respectively, and in the degree to which they have implemented the SPACE II chip set for high-performance scan operations. The FASTSCALE technology integrated in SFX controllers allows on-the-fly upgrades of the controller through software while it is inside the host PC.
All SCANFLEX controllers include the ADYCS II feature to compensate for signal propagation delay, as well as HYSCAN for dynamic data synchronization of serial and parallel vectors.

Development Kit Test Drives Innovative Cable Assemblies
3M introduces the Shielded Controlled Impedance (SCI) Cable Assembly Development Kit, 2mm. The development kit enables users to assess, test and design high-performance, 2mm SCI cable-to-board solutions. Engineers can attain multi-gigahertz performance from 2 mm printed circuit board connectors using 2mm shielded controlled impedance cable assemblies. The SCI connectors save board space without affecting performance. Users can verify signal integrity, impedance matching and crosstalk performance for designs requiring up to 1 Gbps single-ended performance per signal line or 5 Gbps differential performance per signal pair. The kit contains everything needed to assess, test and design, including a CD-ROM with application note, test instruction and technical sheets. www.3m.com
