Test card simulates automotive switching
A new PXI card provides switch simulation and state monitoring of digital signals in automotive engineering applications.
"From our point of view, LXI is one of the most innovative T and M standards for future device integrations due to the rack and stack principle, and has a very high growth potential as LAN successor of the successful GPIB concept", says Thomas Wenzel, cofounder of Goepel Electronic, and Managing Director of the Boundary Scan Division.
"The new series of Scanflex controllers transfers the LXI standard's performance for JTAG/boundary scan applications for the very first time".
"On this basis, the new solution provides an unrivalled combination of flexibility and throughput for complex tests as well as high-speed in-system programming of Flash and PLD.

Complementing existing SFX controllers for PCI, PCIe, PXI, PXIe, USB/LAN and FireWire, the new SFX/LXI1149-(x) controller series is the seventh family of Scanflex controllers - available in three performance classes A, B and C.
The models differ in the maximum clock frequency (20, 50 and 80MHz, respectively) and in the degree of implementation of the enhanced Space chipset for high performance scan operations.
In contrast to conventional solutions, the integrated Fastscale technology allows an upgrade of the controller's performance class "on the fly", without intricate mounting of additional hardware.
Standard features on all Scanflex controllers include Adycs II for signal path delay compensation, and Hyscan for dynamic splitting of serial TAP vectors and parallel I/O vectors.
The SFX/LXI1149-(x) is a LXI Class-C device and provides a triple speed Ethernet interface (10/100/1000Mbit/s).
It is compliant with LXI hardware specification 1.1 and can be remotely configured via the integrated web browser.
In combination with the modular range of additional Scanflex components, LXI based high-performance boundary scan systems with up to eight independent TAPs can be configured and synchronised with other functional modules.
All TAPs provide programmable input and output voltage as well as programmable input and output impedance.
Furthermore, resources such as 32 dynamic I/Os, two analogue I/O channels, three static I/Os and trigger lines are standard features.
The SFX/LXI1149-(x) controller series is fully supported by Goepel's System Cascon software from version 4.4.1 on, and can be integrated into all important software environments by means of preconverted plug-ins. Request a free brochure from Goepel Electronic ...
