IPextreme is making available what it says is the industry’s first synthesisable IP core to implement the forthcoming IEEE1149.7 standard. IEEE1149.7 will provide designers with extensions to the current IEEE1149.1 boundary scan standard.
The configurable cJTAG – IEEE 1149.7 IP core – developed by Texas Instruments – is ready to integrate and supports all six classes of the IEEE1149.7 standard. According to IPextreme, the core requires fewer pins, whilst maintaining compatibility with IEEE1149.1 based hardware and software.
IPextreme’s president and ceo Warren Savage, pictured, said: “Our business proposition allows us to work with a wide variety of technology leaders to produce high quality IP products. Our objective is to make both TI and our customers successful through the adoption of the IEEE 1149.7 standard.”
“IEEE1149.7 test and debug technology will allow the electronics industry to extend IEEE1149.1 capabilities, whilst providing increased functionality to their embedded designs,” said Stephen Lau, emulation technology product manager for TI. “IPextreme’s technical expertise and experience in working with semiconductor leaders makes it well suited for this initiative.”
The core is supplied with Verilog source code, integration testbench and tests, documentation and scripts for simulation and synthesis, with support for common eda tools.
