GÖPEL electronic and Scorpion Technologies have developed a JTAG/Boundary Scan option for the Scorpion Flying Probe Tester (FPT).

 
Is based on the integration of the Cascon Galaxy software and Scanflex hardware into the FPT with up to 24 probes that can be freely positioned and used as virtual Boundary Scan pins.
 
Bettina Becker, marketing and international sales manager for GÖPEL, said: “The direct control of the ICT pin electronics by the Boundary Scan environment has the advantage of each probe acting as additional virtual scan pin in a Boundary Scan test.  The user is now able to achieve a significant increase in test coverage for digital as well as mixed signal ICs, whereby Boundary Scan procedures already utilized in the lab can be completely reused without modifications.”
 
The integration is based on PCI controller models SFX/PCI1149-x with programmable TCK frequencies up to 20 MHz (A type) and 50 MHz (B type), respectively.  The connection to the UUT is realized using a transceiver model SFX-TAP4/C, which provides four parallel TAP and up to eight programmable interface parameters for adaptation to the UUT. The UUT is connected by means of the standard FPT interface. The reliable TAP-Transceiver with CION-Interface enables direct control of UUTs up to 1.5 m. No additional electronics are required. 32 dynamic I/O pins are available on the hardware.
 
All Cascon software editions can run on the FPT.
