JTAG Technologies has released the JT 2147/AGP for use with Aeroflex in-circuit testers (ICTs), allowing the 4200 Series systems to be interfaced with JTAG's boundary-scan controller.

The JT 2147/AGP allows boundary-scan test access port (TAP) signals within the ICT system for claimed improvement in signal integrity and simplified fixture design. The company claims that the JT 2147/AGP can be installed on the Aeroflex GPIO custom interface module to provide ground isolation plus a switching matrix to route TAP signals to pins on the test fixture.

Users of integrated JTAG Technologies products benefit from claimed 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, with increased cost-effectiveness through reduced test fixture complexity.
