FlashJETT solution enables concurrent NOR, NAND and on-chip non-volatile memory programming within datasheet specified times.

 

FlashJETT is an in-fixture PCB for fast programming of non-volatile memories within a few percent of the theoretical datasheet specified time for the device.  No additional capital equipment required as would be needed for pre-programming flash or an in-line programmer.   FlashJett works with Intellitech’s UltraTAP, PT100 and PT100Pro JTAG based testers and programs over I2C, SPI, JTAG/1149.1, NOR flash, SPI Flash and NAND. A recent trial showed a 10X speed improvement over an Agilent i3070.  Read More

     Customer Success Update

 

We’re pleased when customers make the effort to examine what we offer and compare. Three recent customers share their thoughts: Read more .   A fourth 'anonymous' customer shared their flash programming times (this is using EXTEST not our FlashJETT or patented FAC method) using a boundary-scan only approach.

     IEEE P1687/IJTAG Update

 

IEEE P1687 proposes to bring to the IC the same operability and ease of use that we enjoy at the board level with IEEE 1149.1/1149.6.   While many of you have been using our tools to access on-chip DFT structures (now called ‘instruments’ in IJTAG land) for some time now, P1687 will standardize instrument offerings and how they can be connected together internally to the IC.   This also has positive implications for the board and system level test engineer as the instruments maybe on-chip but their purpose is to test external components.  An example would be an on-chip BER instrument (like Intellitech’s BERT-IP) or on-chip external DDR memory BIST.   The goal is to make your job easier.   We’re actively involved in the development of IEEE P1687 through the twice weekly meetings on the software and on-chip implementation aspects of the standard.   We’re pleased to say that since our CEO, CJ Clark, presented on tool command language (TCL) in November 2008, the working group has voted in favor of using TCL as the language to describe the instrument operation in IEEE P1687.  

       While you have been using TCL in our tools since 1997 when we first introduced it, leading tool providers Synopsys, Cadence, Mentor, Xilinx, Altera and more) have also added it to their offerings.  You chose wisely with Intellitech.  We have added new IEEE P1687 commands to our latest release of software (see below) with more to be added as fundamental parts of the standard reach completion.
