The JBS-xx series IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG/Boundary Scan) programmers are
provided on a custom basis. They are based loosely on the highly
successful EMP line of device programmers. Along with the capability to
handle in-circuit programming, additional functions can be included in
the customers specification. These additional functions may include
partitioning, loading seed values for devices with BIST and/or loading
internal values into device registers for performing test suites. With
Boundary Scan as part of the design, non-design related structural
faults can be easily detected. Connection to the Board or System Under
Test is through the IEEE 1149.1 compliant 4 wire standard, the 5 wire
standard can also be supported. If higher than VCC programming voltages
are required they may be included in the board design and turned on
remotely or supplied directly from the JEMP programmer. Capabilities and
specifications are developed on an individual basis usually during the
Design For Test phase of a product design. Single and Multipath design
are possible.
The operating interface, JBS-Control, is DOS based or functions as a
well-behaved DOS application under Windows*. The included buffer editor
allows the data to be placed exactly where you want it and provides HEX
and ASCII strings as well as support for SPLITS, SETS, and SWAPS.
Included is a flexible macro facility allowing frequently used
procedures to be stored, then executed with a key stroke.
The heart of the hardware design is an SRAM based dynamic FPGA. Custom
designed structures have a unique FPGA configuration file. This allows
for multi-structure support with a single JEMP system.
