GÖPEL electronic has introduced a new series of specific JTAG/Boundary Scan controllers with PXI Express interface as part of the Boundary Scan hardware platform Scanflex.
The prototype of the new controller family (SFX controllers), SFX/PXIe1149-(x), includes three models for different performance classes.
 
After SFX controllers for PCI, PXI, USB/LAN and FireWire, the new series is the fifth family of controllers – available in performance classes A, B and C. The models differ in the maximum TCK frequency (20, 50, and 80 MHz, respectively) and in the degree of implementation of the enhanced Space chip set for high performance scan operations. Integrated Fastscale technology allows an upgrade of the controller’s performance class on the fly, without mounting additional hardware.
 
The x1 configuration achieves transfer rates up to 264 MB/s in “zero wait state burst mode” and is based upon the PXI Express hardware specification 1.0, with support for defined Local Bus, trigger, and synchronisation methodologies. In combination with additional modular components, PXI Express based high performance Boundary Scan systems with up to eight test access ports (TAPs) can be configured and synchronised with other functional modules. All TAPs provide programmable input and output voltage as well as programmable input and output impedance. 32 dynamic I/O, two analog I/O channels, three static I/O and trigger lines are standard features.
