XJTAG®, a global leader in electronic testing and programming solutions for prototyping and manufacture, is excited to offer a preview at Electronica 2024 of its latest hardware product, the XJLink-PF40 JTAG controller, due for release in 2025.

Attendees at Hall A3, Stand 260 can get a first glimpse of the upcoming XJLink-PF40, and see the latest version 4.0 of the XJTAG software suite in action, experiencing how XJTAG is driving the future of PCB prototyping and board testing for the production line.

The XJLink-PF40 is designed to handle the challenges of complex, high-density circuit boards, making it an ideal tool for PCB engineers from prototype debug to manufacturing test. With up to eight JTAG TAPs over 40 I/O pins, the XJLink-PF40 enables multiple test access points to one unit under test (UUT), expanding test coverage for the most demanding applications.

Key features & benefits of XJLink-PF40 will be:

  • Up to 8 JTAG TAPs connecting to one UUT – Suitable for complex projects
  • 4 Voltage Domains – Each connector can run in a different voltage domain
  • Configurable TAP Frequencies – Each TAP can run at a different frequency
  • New connector pin-out:
    • 4 x 20-way connectors
    • Even-numbered pins are GND for improved signal integrity
    • Odd-numbered pins are configurable as I/O or TAP pins.
  • Electrically Robust – Protected against voltages of ±30 V on any pin
  • Physically Robust – Strong aluminium casing
  • Flexible Mounting Options

XJTAG’s tools are designed by engineers for engineers. Widely used in R&D, testing, and manufacturing across all industry sectors, XJTAG aids engineers with board bring-up, testing and debugging. The company also offers accelerated flash programming solutions, driving efficiency across development workflows.
