        SCANFLEX® - next generation hardware architecture for Extended JTAG / Boundary Scan

              

        SCANFLEX® is a revolutionary new hardware platform, created to enable for extended Boundary Scan test and ISP solutions, taking full advantage of the technical potential provided by today’s and tomorrow’s standards. SCANFLEX excels when it comes to speed, flexibility, and modularity of a Boundary Scan test system. But it does not stop there, adding new capabilities for analog and mixed-signal test not found in competitive products.

         

        VarioCore

        We recently introduced the all new VarioCore® technology for SCANFLEX® I/O Modules, once again proving our role as a leading JTAG/Boundary Scan innovator. VarioCore® enabled I/O Modules are unique in the world of board and system level Automated Test Equipment (ATE) in that they are instruments that are reconfigurable at run-time to support a wide variety of I/O functionality.

         

        The standardization of IEEE-Std. 1149.1 (JTAG / Boundary Scan) in 1990 set the foundation for one of the most successful test technologies. Additional standards, based on the IEEE-Std. 1149.1 architecture, have been developed to support innovative test and in-system programming applications, in particular IEEE-Std. 1532, IEEE-Std. 1149.4, and IEEE-Std. 1149.6, and further standard development efforts are under way.

        SCANFLEX® encompasses:

         

        Total Modularity

        Modular platform consisting of SCANFLEX Controller, SCANFLEX TAP-Transceiver, and SCANFLEX I/O modules allowing individually (re)configurable solutions

        Modular expandable number of (up to 8) parallel, independent TAP and (up to 31) independent I/O modules, ensuring open scalability of required resources

        Modular, interchangeable TAP Interface Cards (TIC) support a variety of interface types and integration environments

        Extreme Flexibility

        Flexible electrical signal termination (up to 8 per TAP programmable interface parameters)

        Flexible analog and digital resources on every TAP-Transceiver as standard configuration, systematically extendable with optional I/O modules

        Extraordinary Performance

        High-performance SPACETM II Controller Chipset supporting HYSCANTM for simultaneous handling of parallel I/O pattern and serial scan pattern up to 80MHz on 8 independent TAP’s

        Highly efficient synchronization of analog, digital and mixed signal resources with dynamic TAP operations and external trigger events

        Extensive configuration and upgrade management on-the-fly through SCANFLEX AutoDetect Feature and FASTSCALETM Technology

         

        SCANFLEX® concept – an overview (example configuration)

         

         

         

        SCANFLEX® systems are controlled through a JTAG/Boundary Scan Controller. This controller is responsible for simultaneous generation and dynamic distribution of serial patterns, parallel patterns, and control sequences, supporting three standard SFX and SFX/LS Interfaces. All SCANFLEX® Controllers are available in three performance classes (A/B/C).
        Refer to the product matrix below.

        As front-end, SCANFLEX® systems use TAP-Transceiver modules. These modules are connected to the controller with the SFX cable (available in 2m/6ft, 5m/15ft, and 10m/33ft lengths). TAP Transceiver modules convert the data coming from the controller into respective operations of the built-in or added-on resources. TAP signals are provided through interchangeable TAP Interface Cards (TIC), allowing a nearly infinite range of front-end adaptations for various signal types, signal conditioning, and integration environments, including custom specific variants. SCANFLEX®TAP Transceivers as well as in rack-mountable housings, and they can be adapted to custom specifications. As a standard configuration, TAP Transceivers also include analog and digital I/O resources, typically at least one SFX I/O slot, and one additional SFX/LS interface, providing ample of resources for extended Boundary Scan test solutions.

        The third major component in a SCANFLEX® system is the optional I/O Module. These I/O modules are controlled independently from any other resources in the system through the SFX/LS interface. If the number of required SCANFLEX I/O Modules is very small (only 1 to 2 modules needed) the modules can be plugged directly onto the TAP-Transceiver, eliminating any additional cabling. Alternatively, I/O modules can be put into SCANFLEX Carriers, connected to the Controller or the TAP Transceiver through a SFX/LS cable (0.5m/1.5ft, 1m/3ft, 3m/10ft, or 5m/15ft). SCANFLEX® I/O Modules are used to extend the performance and capabilities of the Boundary Scan system with additional test instruments and programming resources, highly modular and scalable to match any specific test/ISP application. Custom specific modifications of standard modules and development of custom modules are offered through GÖPEL electronic’s engineering services.
