| GOEPEL electronic’s SCANFLEX® JTAG/Boundary Scan Platform now integrated into Aeroflex 5800 Series ATE System |
| At
the Productronica 2007 tradeshow in Munich / Germany, GOEPEL
electronic, world-class vendor of JTAG/Boundary Scan solutions
compliant with IEEE Std. 1149.x, announced the successful integration
of a PXI-based SCANFLEX® Boundary Scan solution into Aeroflex 5800
Series multi-configuration, multi-function Automatic Test Equipment
(ATE). The addition of boundary scan offers 5800 Series users the
advantage of structural device, board and system-level test access
throughout the whole product life cycle without the need for invasive
bed-of-nail access. In addition to the improved test coverage, the
benefits of Boundary Scan include reduced test cost and time-to-market. “Our SCANFLEX hardware is by far the most innovative system architecture available on the market", said Richard Ainley, Sales Specialist for GOEPEL electronics Ltd in the UK. “SCANFLEX is the only JTAG/Boundary Scan hardware platform that fully implements the philosophy of extended JTAG/Boundary Scan in a modular, open and scalable environment. SCANFLEX® is a perfect fit for Aeroflex’s 5800 in mid-range and high-end performance applications." “We are very pleased to be integrating the SCANFLEX interface hardware into our 5800 Series,” said Simon Dawe, ATE product manager, Aeroflex. “The addition of GOEPEL electronic’s efficient, high-speed architecture gives our 5800 Series customers access to professional, integrated boundary scan capabilities, providing them with even greater flexibility and ease of use than ever before.” The integrated GOEPEL hardware consists of a controller, a TAP Transceiver, TAP Interface Card (TIC) and distributed I/O modules. The SCANFLEX hardware will offer extended fault coverage for the 5800 Series by utilizing digital and analog I/O modules. The controller’s architecture supports data rates of up to 80 MHz on up to eight independent TAP. The Boundary Scan option is currently available for order on the 5800 Series. A starting configuration for the 5800 digital test controller is priced at approximately U.S. $4,800 and the SCANFLEX boundary scan option will start at approximately U.S. $2,700.
