Press Preview for IPC Apex 2016 – Las Vegas, Booth 2413

In the ramp light in Las Vegas: JTAG Technologies Inside -

The future of your ATE application with Boundary-Scan

Eindhoven, the Netherlands, January 2016—What test engineers worry

about these days: the access to nodes of assemblies with ever increasing

complexity is more and more difficult and results in reduced fault

coverage.

JTAG Technologies’ motto for Apex 2016 year reads: Optimise your ATE

with JTAG Technologies Inside — have a look at the possibilities that arise from the use of “JTAG

TECHNOLOGIES INSIDE” and see the current test methods and possibilities from a different perspective.

In our booth at Apex 2016 we will display the following highlights from our comprehensive ATE product

portfolio:

- ICT, MDA or flying probe systems are quickly and easily upgraded with JTAG Technologies’

boundary-scan solutions. Special add-on cards and software integration suites enable users to

benefit from the features of the combined systems.

- Traditional functional tests based on National Instruments’ LabView/TestStand, C++, .net and

other programming languages often feature complex and time-consuming test programs. Easy

access to your assembly via boundary-scan pins can simplify your existing test programs and ease

diagnosis in case of faults.

Peter van den Eijnden, managing director of JTAG Technologies commented this year’s focus for the

show: “Since many years we are cooperating with renowned ATE suppliers to make sure that our

customers will continue to enjoy optimal use of their existing ICT/MDA/FPT/FCT systems throughout the

coming years. In joint efforts with various test system manufacturers we developed special hardware and

software solutions. These special solutions enable perfect integration of our tools into these test

systems, so users benefit from advantages of the combination of both methods”.

Also on stage in Vegas - The Versatile JT5705 Series

JTAG Technologies is also showcasing the latest in its highly regarded range of boundary-scan controller

hardware for PCB assembly and system testing– the versatile JT 5705 series. This completely innovative

design concept incorporates both JTAG/boundary-scan controller functions and mixed-signal I/O

channels. Extensive input protection is provided to ensure high levels of in-service reliability and low

maintenance. Connection to the tester is via a USB interface. Peter van den Eijnden, MD is convinced of

the acclaimed package: “We have been asked to provide analog stimulus and measurements alongside

more traditional digital I/O systems. The new JT 5705s provides all this and more in a really convenient and

low-cost package”.

- The first in the series - JT 5705/USB - is supplied as desk-top instrument, primarily aimed at hardware

validation applications in design, small-scale production test and in some cases field service and

repair. The JT 5705/USB features two 15 MHz TAPs and 64 I/O’s available through 0.1” IDC

connectors. 56 of the I/O channels are always digital, 16 of which also feature a frequency function.

The remaining 8 channels can be used as either digital I/O or analog I/O. The unit also contains a user

programmable FPGA facilitating application specific digital I/O options.

JT 5705/USB Features to be highlighted:

o High-performance JTAG TAP controller

o Analog and digital I/O channels included

o Link multiple units for higher channel count

o User configurable features via embedded FPGA

o Attractive, compact desktop enclosure

- The second model in this new range is the larger JT 5705/RMI, a 1U high 19” rack-mountable

instrument for use in systems or as a bench-top tester. This unit features four 15 MHz TAPs and 4

groups of 64 mixed-signal I/O channels providing a total of 256 I/O’s available through 0.1” IDC

connectors. As before, within each 64 channels group, 56 channels are permanently digital with 16

available as frequency inputs. The other 8 channels of each group can be individually programmed

as digital I/O or analog I/O channel.
