Jena, Germany — GOEPEL electronic has extended its CION family of boundry scan I/O modules with the introduction of the CION Module/DIMM240. The digital module is serially controlled via TAP to special CION ASIC chips, and enables the testing of all signal and voltage supply pins of JEDEC-compliant DIMM240 sockets for DDR2-SDRAM.

Because the modules are equipped with a transparent TAP, several boards of the same or different types can be cascaded in a daisy chain configuration. The structural boundary scan test of all DIMM240 signal and voltage supply pins are executed by the on-board CION ASIC ICs. All channels can be independently switched as input/output/tristate. To ensure protection of test equipment and unit under test (UUT), CION Module/DIMM240 provides special safety mechanisms such as "UNSTRESS" to prevent damages in case of shorts, extended power yield and voltage programmable TAP.

The new hardware module is completely supported by all JTAG/boundary scan controllers in the ScanBooster and SCANFLEX families as well the integrated boundary scan software platform SYSTEM CASCON.

Pricing: $850.
