Boundary-Scan Controller Supports USB and LAN

A new high-performance, intelligent boundary-scan controller can be connected either to a user’s PC via the high-speed USB 2.0 or a 10/100BaseT Ethernet LAN interface. The NetUSB-1149.1/E offers testing and in-system programming of CPLDs, FPGAs, and Flash memories on up to four concurrent JTAG chains. With this ability, the NetUSB-1149.1/E can deliver test vectors at a sustained test clock frequency of 80 MHz on all four JTAG chains while simultaneously verifying results in hardware at each individual TAP. This controller can be used in the testing of devices, boards or systems compliant with IEEE Std 1149.1. Because of easy USB and LAN connections, a desktop or laptop PC can be used for boundary-scan testing in various phases of a product life cycle including design, manufacturing and field service. Boundary-scan test vectors developed with the company’s ScanPlusTPG test program generator can be executed directly on the NetUSB-1149.1/E. Pricing starts at $5,950. CORELIS INC., Cerritos, CA.
