Intellitech Adds Support for the Freescale DSP56F80X Family's On-Chip Programming and Voltage Measurement
DURHAM, N.H.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—September 29, 2008—
Intellitech Corporation,
www.intellitech.com,
the leader in lowering electronic product costs through IEEE
1149.1/JTAG, has announced that it has added support for the Freescale
Semiconductor DSP56F80X family to its SystemBIST device, UltraTAP pod
and PT100 concurrent testers used in volume manufacturing. The DSP56F80X
devices include up to 128K bytes of on-chip FLASH and up to sixteen
Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC), each are accessible over JTAG and
Freescale
’s on-chip
“OnCE
debug
” macro. A library of DSP56F80X access
routines has been added to Intellitech
’s
popular Eclipse family of software. The library supports automatic
download of customer program code to the on-chip memory as well as
conversion of the on-chip ADC registers to a measured voltage. A typical
application of Intellitech
’s PT00 testers
would be to program functional test code over the 1149.1/JTAG bus onto
the DSP56F80X memory, concurrently, on thirty-two or more at a time.
Then the testers would communicate with the DSPs over concurrent JTAG to
take voltage measurements from the on-chip ADCs, execute this on-chip
functional test code and retrieve the results. This would be followed by
concurrently programming the DSP56F80X devices with the customer
’s
mission mode program code.
“The Freescale DSP56F80X device family is
used widely in low cost servo and motor control applications. This
support in our toolset is part of our long standing strategy of mixing
boundary-scan, functional test and analog tests onto a single concurrent
tester optimized for boards used in this type of application,”
said CJ Clark, CEO of Intellitech Corporation.
