TapCommunicator is for remote, high-fidelity communications of boundary-scan test vectors and device programming data, using existing communication links.

Overcomes previous range limitations; consists of an ‘Uplink’ and a ‘Downlink’ module, both compatible with IEEE Std. 802.3z –1998 (Gigabit Ethernet) and IEEE Std. 1149.1, which code and decode the boundary-scan applications.  Allows limitless high-speed links between tester and target with no signal degradation. Based on TapSpacer technology, developed and patented by Patria Advanced Solutions. Also operates on the standard IEEE 1149.1 protocols and state machine, so is vendor-independent and can be used with any compliant tester, emulator or programmer product.
 

Applications include: remote system control for in-service test, re-configuration or upgrade; environmental testing; and factories with multiple production lines.
