Fast Access Controller (FAC) is an efficient pre-engineered IP solution designed to enhance on-board Flash programming and test performance, particularly in high-demand production environments. FAC caters to processor and ASIC/SoC designers by providing accelerated programming capabilities, minimizing turnaround times for external Flash devices.
This solution utilizes the IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) test bus to streamline data transfer, enabling swift programming of Flash memory connected through FPGA interfaces. Its implementation results in considerable reductions in programming time compared to traditional methods, directly impacting production efficiency.
The FAC's robust architecture promotes seamless integration into existing systems, affording design teams the ability to respond quickly to evolving test demands. This makes it a vital component of modern electronic production lines, where quick adaptation and minimal downtime are critical.
