ScanBooster Overview

E-mail Print PDF
The ScanBooster™ product family compliments the spectrum of SCANFLEX® solutions in low to mid-range performance applications. Available family members are ScanBooster PCI, ScanBooster USB, and ScanBooster PP (for PCI bus, USB bus, and Parallel Port, respectively), supporting test, PLD programming and Flash in-system programming.
The controller range provides optimal solutions in particular for standard applications with high cost pressure and lower performance requirements.
 
ScanBooster/PCI and ScanBooster/USB are equipped with two independent TAPs and supports a programmable TCK frequency up to 16MHz. Both TAP are independently programmable with regard to output voltage, input voltage, output impedance, and input impedance. By utilizing GÖPEL electronic’s CION™ ASICs as driver circuits, the TAPs have outstandingly good signal integrity in combination with special features for interface protection. The controller offers additional resources such as dynamic 32bit Parallel I/O, trigger signals, an SCP bus for system extensions and a specific interface for parallel gang testing of up to eight UUT.

The ScanBooster/PCI and ScanBooster/USB are interface compatible to previous Boundary Scan controller generations from GÖPEL electronic. The ScanBooster products are fully supported by the industry leading Boundary Scan software SYSTEM CASCON™.
