Awards overview |
JTAG TapCommunicator (TapComm) is an intelligent channel for communicating boundary-scan test vectors and device-programming data over unlimited distances to a target system. The product consists of Uplink and Downlink modules, both of which are compatible with IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet and IEEE 1149.1.
The Uplink and Downlink modules code and decode boundary-scan application data. The result is a communications system that provides a high-speed link of unlimited range between the tester and target with no signal degradation. TapComm supports up to four boundary-scan TAPs. Since it operates on the standard IEEE 1149.1 protocols and state machine, TapComm is vendor-independent and can be used with any compliant tester, emulator, or programmer.
