Imbedded A5 Processor Test Interface

Advanced Microtechnology, Inc. (Advanced Microtechnology, Inc.)

Advanced Microtechnology has extended the application of its Optimum product line with theintegration of ARC5 imbedded test functions. Up to 40 controllers may be independently powered and monitored for functionality using the process test interface of the Optimum WinAOS application. Each part may have 2 separate biases featuring both current and voltage monitoring. Independent test is implemented through a standard JTAG interface. A separate serial clock and command interface may be used if required to provide device initialization sequences. JTAG control is muxed to each part through the use of an independent clock for each part. All of the ARC processor registers and memory space may be tested through the JTAG I/O.
