The Scan Ring Linker (SRL) is an advanced solution designed to simplify the integration of 1149.1 (JTAG) infrastructure into PCB designs. This complete IP module can be embedded into CPLD, FPGA, or ASIC designs on PCBs to address the challenges of managing multiple scan rings in advanced digital architectures. By linking any number of secondary scan paths into a single high-speed test bus, SRL allows for independent testing and configuration through a unified 1149.1 external interface.
The SRL IP module is engineered to enhance design flexibility and reduce the costs associated with JTAG integration by seamlessly consolidating multiple scan chains. This consolidation streamlines testing processes significantly, cutting down on the time and resource investments typically required to develop and maintain ad-hoc testing structures. Moreover, the SRL supports high-speed data transfers, making it a critical asset for designs that demand rigorous testing standards and rapid configurations.
Intellitech's SRL module delivers a path to cost savings by eliminating redundant parts and reducing the engineering time devoted to designing JTAG components. It is suitable for a wide array of applications, including large-scale production testing and configurations where independent high-speed scan ring integration is required. The SRL enhances a product's lifecycle by facilitating ongoing updates and reconfigurations without the need for substantial redesign efforts.
