ChipVORX FPGA-based I/O modules are controlled via a standard TAP enabling access to the entire ecosystem of test and programming IPs for external instrumentation. FXT-X90 module is based on a Xilinx FPGA, providing 90 I/O channels, whereby 72 are voltage programmable. Is equipped with a transparent TAP; enables daisy-chained cascading of several boards of the same or different types. Various functions for universal frequency measurement, RAM test, fast Flash programming or control of instruments are provided as IP. Provides a separate clock generator. Can be applied as a boundary scan I/O module with dynamic mode switching capability. Is supported by Scanflex boundary scan controllers System Cascon software.
