JTAG transceivers offer ultra low voltage characteristics
GOEPEL electronic has introduced a new family of jtag transceiver ics.
The CION LX chips are designed to provide ultra low voltage characteristics, and offer a tester per pin architecture based on Boundary Scan standards such as IEEE 1149.1, IEEE 1149.6 and IEEE 1149.8.1, in combination with additional digital and analogue test instruments.
Various operation modes enable a range of applications of the ic as bus transceiver, pin driver and system monitor. For flexible signal adaptation, different interface types with programmable transceiver parameters have been integrated into the chip.
The chips were developed in 0.35µm mixed signal cmos technology and provide four independent I/O ports. Each port can be individually operated in a voltage range from 0.9 to 3.6V. The integrated Boundary Scan architecture supports the standards IEEE 1149.1, IEEE 1149.6 and IEEE 1149.8.1, at a maximum TCK frequency of 100MHz.
