Circuits Assembly Online Magazine - Scanflex Adds Reconfigurable I/O Modules

News

SFX-6216 I/O module with VarioCore technology is the next member of the boundary scan hardware platform Scanflex. Is a 16-channel voltage measurement module with application-specific, in-system reconfigurable add-on resources based on VarioCore.

Can take bipolar voltage measurements on up to 16 different points in conjunction with JTAG/Boundary Scan operations. Can be combined with Scanflex TAP transceivers and controllers based on PCI, PXI, PXI Express, USB, FireWire or LAN. Features programmable range selection, external triggering and VarioCore for universal use, e.g. for the test of DC/DC converter, digital/analog converter, or digital potentiometer functionality. Ability to reconfigure integrated module resources also allows the implementation of complex dynamic sample and storage functions, which can run autonomously.

Fully supported in software suite System Cascon starting with version 4.3. Module programming and test program handling of analog/digital data is provided on basis of CASLAN commands. By simultaneously using multiple SFX-6216 modules, the channel number can be expanded as needed. Are automatically identified by AutoDetect feature. The software also manages the diverse VarioCore module configurations.
