SCIL modules

SCIL (Scan Configured Interface Logic) modules are a range of hardware functions usually pre-programmed into pods that take the place of a regular TAP pod within the JT 37×7 DataBlaster’s QuadPod system. Alternative ‘hosts’ for SCIL functions can also be the JT 2111/MPV (desktop DIOS) or the JT 5112 (MIOS). Currently available SCIL modules for enhancing test coverage are counter/timer and pattern generator/comparator units. Other SCIL modules are used in tandem with a SCIP (Serial Controlled In-system Programming) software options for in-system programming purposes. SCIP/SCIL combinations are used for programming Freescale parts via BDM, and Mono8 interfaces. SPI, I2C, SWD, and Microchip custom one-wire protocols are also supported.

Further SCIL module functions can be developed upon request, simply contact us or your local sales office.

Features

Bespoke logic functions that aid test coverage
Available as pod plug-in or desktop unit
Often used for in-system programming of non-JTAG parts

Benefits

Expands capability of a JTAG DataBlaster beyond IEEE 1149.1
Tests and programs using alternative serial protocols (I2C, SPI, SWD, BDM etc.)
Allows custom instruments to be controlled for enhanced functional testing
Improves ROI (return on investment) with respect to hardware controller

Applications

SCIL modules can be used wherever customised testing or programming equipment is needed. Various SCIL modules are available off-the-shelf for applications such as digital pattern generation/detection (logic analysis), counter/timer etc.. Specific SCIL modules for device programming are also available. JTAG Technologies special projects team also accepts requests for fully bespoke SCIL interfaces.
