In-System Programming (ISP) & configuration of compatiable PLDs, FPGAs, Memory & Microcontroller devices via a number of different JTAG formats, including JAM/STAPL, SVF and JBC.

Up to 16 programmers can be connected to a single PC to enable "Gang" programming for both ISP and standalone applications.

The programmer offers a variety of powerful development, testing and production utilities. In addition to the Infinity Express software that is provided with the unit, the AP-114 also offers Boundary Scan testing , JTAG debugging and also works as a Portable Device Programmer for Serial EEPROM and Flash devices.

FEATURES

• In-System Programmer for Serial Flash & EEPROMs, Atmel AVR, Microchip PIC, etc.
  

• JTAG Programming, configuration and testing for all JTAG / IEEE 1149.1 compatible devices
  
• Optional Boundary Scan Test software
  
• Standalone Programming for SPI Flash and SPI, I2C & MicroWire serial EEPROMs
  
• Generic GDB Proxy server - converts GDB messages into JTAG sequences
  
• Optional cable for Jennic JN5148 ZigBee Wireless Microcontroller debugging

• Powerful and flexible user software includes ApPC and Infinity Express
  

• SVF & STAPL(JAM) Player - plays STAPL, JAM, JBC, SVF files
  
• DLL to add AP-114 to your own system
  
• Built in Power supply from 1.8 to 3.3 Volts
  
• Multi-programmer support - link 16 units together
  
• Dual port headers support a range of JTAG pinouts, including Altera & Xilinx

FLEXIBLE SOFTWARE

JTAG applications are driven by Infinity Express. A flexible software interface that incorprates a number of different ISP/JTAG applications into a single user-friendly GUI. As new applications are added, such as support for ISP programming of Atmel AVR and Microchip PIC devices, Infinity Express will simply incorporate these in a seperate tab.

Out of System programming, and ISP programming of Serial Flash and EEPROM devices is handled by ApPC, the same powerful software interface that controls the AP-1164 Universal Device Programmer.

COM Object command line software is available to add the full functionality of both Infinity Express and APPC into your own system software for even greater flexibility.
 

JTAG

• USB2.0 Compatible
  

• JTAG / IEEE 1149.1 compatible.
  
• Xilinx & Altera Headers for JTAG/Master Serial Programming
  
• JBC & SVF Player
  
• JTAG Baudrate up to 6Mbits/sec (programmable)
  
• All JTAG signals are 5V tolerant down to 1.8V

The programmer is supplied with 2 IDC ports, which support 10- and 14-way JTAG connections. Both ports can be configured in different modes, according to the requirements of the target device(s), and this changes the configuration of the pinouts.

The most common JTAG format is the 10-pin Altera ByteBlaster, compatible with Altera JTAG, as well as many others. Port 2 supports the 14-pin Xilinx Parallel IV JTAG mode, as well as other modes requiring different pin-counts. These are supported by a 14-way configurable multi-coloured ribbon cable which is supplied with 2mm pitch flying leads for greater flexibility.
 

JENNIC VERSION

With an additional cable assembly, the AP-114 can be used to debug the Jennic JN5148 ZigBee Wireless Microcontroller when used with software supplied by Jennic on their SDK JN-SW-4041.

PORTABLE DEVICE PROGRAMMER

The AP-114 also works as a portable Universal In-System programmer for a range of ISP devices, which includes Altera EPCS & Xilinx config SPROMs, Microchip PIC, Atmel AVR plus other Microcontroller families which are added regularly. Out-of-system programming for 8-pin EEPROM & SPI Flash devices is also provided via plug-in adapter modules.

• Built in Power supply from 1.8 to 3.3 Volts
  

• Supported by ApPC (Atomic Programming Center)
  
• Stand-alone and ISP programming for
  • SPI serial EEPROMs
    
  • I2C serial EEPROMs
    
  • Microwire serial EEPROMs
    
  • SPI Flash
• Plug-in adapter pods support a range of package options for stand-alone mode
  • PAJ-28DIP-1 : 8 pin DIP parts
    
  • PAJ-16SO-3 : 8 pin JEDEC SOIC parts
    
  • PAJ-16SO-4 : 8 pin EIAJ SOIC parts

BOUNDARY SCAN

The optional Infinity SCAN Boundary Scan Test software is aimed at the diagnosis and debugging of complex PCB assemblies containing single or multiple embedded devices.

Using the boundary scan test protocol, individual pins of each device can be arbitrarily and safely monitored to determine their functionality. This operation can be carried out on static or active boards over a pre-defined period of time.

Information from a board can be stored and recalled by any user for simple verification of the device(s) on a chain (with pass/fail results) or deeper investigation using the graphical viewer and zoom features. Analysing this information can lead to the detection of :

• Manufacturing defects (eg. Open circuit/shorted pins)
  

• Logic errors (eg. pin failing to toggle/ faulty device)
  
• Programme errors (eg. incorrect/corrupted program)
  
• Faults in external circuitry (eg. missing or stuck input signal)

Automatic Functionality
The needs of a design engineer on a new project are different to those of a field engineer diagnosing a fault in-situ.

Therefore, various automatic functions and access levels are available with AP-114:

• Automatic Chain Detection reduces the time consuming process of identifying devices.
  

• Automatic Training lets the software learn the status of the board by itself (manual intervention is also possible)
  
• Automatic Data Comparison for quick evaluation with pass/fail results
