XJLink-PF40

With up to eight JTAG TAPs over 40 I/O pins, the XJLink-PF40 enables multiple access points to one unit under test (UUT). Other features include configurable test access port (TAP) frequencies, so each TAP can run at a different frequency, and four voltage domains, so each connector can run in a different one.

Note the new connector pin-out includes 4 x 20-way connectors, with even-numbered pins GND for improved signal integrity and odd-numbered pins configurable as I/O or TAP pins.

XJTAG also highlights strong aluminium casing and flexible mounting options.

The company stand can be found at A3-260.
