GOEPEL Introduces 'World's Smallest' JTAG/Boundary Scan Controller

GOEPEL electronic introduces PicoTAP, said to be the world’s smallest JTAG/boundary scan controller with single TAP interface. The new and handy solution (matchbox size) has been designed for simple boundary scan test and programming tasks and for cost-critical applications throughout the entire product life cycle.

Programs generated with PicoTAP are cross compatible to all controllers from GOEPEL electronics if users want to upgrade their boundary scan applications at a later point in time, according to the company. This includes the SCANBOOSTER series or SCANFLEX.

"The new low cost controller is our response to increasing customer requests to execute simple or non-time-critical test, debug and programming procedures with minimal equipment", explains Stefan Meissner, GOEPEL electronic's Public Relations Manager. "Furthermore, PicoTAP enables a fast introduction to the standardized test topic via IEEE 1149.x by keeping full compatibility to our existing hardware and software portfolio."
