SCANFLEX Gang tester improves efficiency during boundary scan utilisation
1 min read
Goepel electronic has introduced what it claims is the industry's first completely modular Gang test system with integrated UUT power supply.
Without any additional hardware, users can test or programme up to 16 boards in parallel, applying only one central SCANFLEX controller. The system utilisation is designed to increase efficiency in the production at significantly reduced manufacturing costs. SFX-TAP16/G can be open configured, supporting modern test and programme strategies such as Processor Emulation Test, core assisted Flash programming, chip embedded instrumentation and protocol driven interface tests.
Thomas Wenzel, md of Goepel's boundary scan division, commented: "We wanted to meet the increasing demand of mass markets such as automotive and consumer for even more compact and open scalable boundary scan by a completely new hardware architecture. And we've been successful. Simultaneously, we have elevated our SCANFLEX hardware platform to the top in its field for Gang test and programming."
The new TAP transceiver's concept is based on modularly configurable TAP slot cards and power slot cards. This allows the system to be freely adapted to nearly each kind of UUT interface and Gang numbers. Investments are protected by the hardware's exchangeability and upgradeability.
