The JT 2149/DAF is a compact, mixed-signal (Digital/Analog/Frequency) measurement module for use in JTAG Technologies’ widely-used JT 2147 (QuadPod) signal conditioning interface. The DAF module has been designed to replace a regular TAP Pod and provides 28 measurement channels plus a clock generator. When connected to a circuit board via edge connector or test fixture/jig test pins, the module enhances standard digital boundary-scan tests by enabling a series of analog and frequency measurements to be made.

The JT 2149/MPV and the JT 2149/eMPV are a 32 channel multi purpose DIOS/TAP pod modules/interfaces that can be plugged into any spare JT 2148 QuadPOD transceiver slot. The DIOS channels of these units I/O interface pods enable increased fault coverage and thus improved diagnostic resolution during boundary-scan testing. The principal difference between the two versions is the use of an extended case on the eMPV that allows standard 0.1″ connections to be used to access ths TAP and static IO signals (see tab below)- on the standard /MPV unit these signals are available at the front face 0.05″ connector. The units are fully supported by JTAG Technologies’ development tools. Additional DIOS modules can be serially connected if more parallel access points are required.

The JT 2147 QuadPOD high speed device programmer and flash programmer comprises JT 2148 transceiver and four independent, programmable JT 2149 TAP PODs and provides signal conditioning for the DataBlaster series of boundary-scan controllers. Used for gang, parallel, fast testing / Programming of devices.
TAP pods can be housed integrally within the transceiver or they can be detached and reconnected via the (optional) one meter extension cable. The JT 2148 transceiver is available in standard (/10) or industrial (/13) variants. The /13 variant includes a SCSI cable splitter to allow system integrators to use flat ribbon cables into the transceiver itself which often simplifies fixture building.
A fixture-embedded variant of the JT 2147 is available as part reference JT 2147/FXT. This unit integrates the function of the transceiver and four pod onto a single assembly. This variant can also support 64 DIOS channels and SCIL functions (see more images below for a picture of the JT 2147/FXT).

The JT 2137 pod remains a popular choice for DataBlaster controller installations that require a compact signal conditioning pod embedded within a test fixture. The JT 2137 features four test access ports which together may be set for 5v or 3.3V TTL thresholds, although additional plug-in adapters are available that allow alternative thresholds to be set on a TAP by TAP basis (contact your local sales office for details). The 20-way 0.1″ IDC TAP headers comply with the standard JTAG Technologies 20-way pin-out and provide the additional flash programming controls Read/Busy and AutoWrite.

The JT 2111/MPV is a 64 channel boundary-scan digital I/O scan module enclosed in an impact resistant housing. The module is designed to test and control edge connectors, on-board connectors and logic clusters in boundary-scan applications. Multiple modules can be connected serially to increase the number of I/Os. Available with 96-pin DIN 41612 connectors and 20-pin 0.1″ pitch IDC connectors.
This JT2111/MPV DIOS module is also available through our webshop.

The JT 2122/MPV DIOS (digital I/O scan module) increases the coverage and improves the diagnostic resolution of boundary-scan testing by extending test access to connectors and/or test points. JT 2122/MPV DIOS provides bi-directional parallel-scan access to up to 128 or 133 I/Os in a standard DIMM-168 module.
The TAP signals can be accessed via the ‘fingers’ of the 168 pin module connector or a separate 10-pin connector. A TAP-out can be used to daisy-chain to another DIOS module or to a scan chain on the target board.

The JT 2128 DIOS module increases fault coverage and improves the diagnostic resolution. The JT 2128 provides bi-directional parallel-scan access to up to 133 I/O channels grouped in three segments, each of which can be individually bypassed. The JT 2128 is designed for easy insertion in standard 168-pin DIMM sockets either on a target board, JT 2702/DDC break-out module or in a test fixture.

The JT2702 Digital 256 channel JTAG I/O module,
JT2702/DDC (Dual DIMM Carrier) is a DIMM DIOS accessory product. It is typically used in custom test adapters or fixtures where a large number of digital I/O channels are required with a minimum space overhead.
By populating the JT 2702/DDC with one or two of JTAG Technologies DIMM/168 format DIOS units, the user can build either a 128 or 256 channel (digital) I/O system. Since the units can also be serially linked, a channel count in excess of 1000 IOs is easily achieved at a relatively low cost. Access to the channels is via eight standard 40-way 0.1″ IDC connectors.

The JT 2127/Flex STM memory socket tester is a family of hardware adapters specifically designed for the testing of of PCB-mounted DIMM & SODIMM sockets using a JTAG/boundary-scan controller and supporting software. The testing of memory sockets has always been troublesome for test and production engineers using JTAG/boundary-scan systems. Even when it is possible to create memory writes/reads from a boundary-scan compliant access device on the UUT (Unit Under Test), the initialisation process may fail leaving you with little diagnostics information. What’s more it can still be uncertain whether fault lays with the DIMM module itself or the socket. Using the new JT 2127-Flex system from JTAG Technologies you get pin-point diagnostics from a known-good test interface so you can be certain that your socket is soldered correctly.

The JT 2135 allows TAP signals to be extended away from the base JT 2137 (classic pod) by up to 1 meter and retain full pod’s frequency specifications. The active circuitry inside the JT 2135 compensates for the TDO signal return time of the longer interface cable. Multiple JT 2135s can be implemented if a longer extension is required.

The JT 2139 is a TAP signal isolation module designed for use in combinational test systems that utilise multiple instrument interfaces. To avoid parasitic capacitance effects and/or unwanted ground loops the JT 2139 can be used to completely galvanically isolate any JTAG Technologies boundary-scan controller from the remainder of the instrumentation system. JT 2139 isolators are a standard component of the JTAG Technologies ‘Symphony’ systems that integrate boundary-scan with In-Circuits Testers etc..

The JT 2154 is an experiment board based on National Semiconductor’s STA111 device, aimed at users looking to utilise addressable bridge/multiplexors within their designs, and thus set-up ‘system level’ JTAG access. The unit can also be used in semi-permanent installations to expand the TAP (Test Access Port) count on JTAG Technologies controllers in order to address highly segmented designs. Built-in support for ScanBridge-type devices within ProVision allows easy set-up of TAP assignments and device addressing.

The JT 2156 training board has been devised to demonstrate all the latest features and test techniques available to users of JTAG Technologies’ ProVision & JTAG Live application development systems. As well as a modern ARM Core processor, the design also includes an Altera Cyclone FPGA, DDR Memory, Ethernet PHY, and several SPI and I2C peripheral parts. The JT2156 is shipped with a comprehensive self-study manual for getting to know the in-depth features of ProVision and/or JTAGLive Studio. For Altium users the design also serves as an example of how to adapt the Nano board into a realistic custom design.
