Sophia Systems Co., Ltd. supports the adoption of IEEE 1149.7™ test and debug standard. The new standard offers enhanced debug functionality in smaller package sizes.

 

For Public Relations Announcement-by all.

KAWASAKI, JAPAN (February 10, 2010) – The new IEEE 1149.7™ test and debug standard provides an expansion and improvement of IEEE 1149.1 JTAG functionality. Sophia Systems Co., Ltd. (Subsidiary of Sohwa Corporation) will incorporate the IEEE 1149.7™ standard into its EJ Debugging product line to support improved debug capabilities and power constraints for system-on-chip (SoC) embedded architectures. As a member of the Texas Instruments (TI) Developer Network, Sophia Systems will continue to support debugging tools for TI’s OMAP™ processors, including those that will implement the new features specified in the new IEEE 1149.7™ standard. The new standard will allow developers to easily test and debug products with complex digital circuitry, multiple CPUs and applications software. For more information, please visit www.sophia-systems.com (English), www.sophia-systems.co.jp (Japanese)


IEEE 1149.7 key features and benefits:

  • Compatibility with legacy IEEE 1149.1 devices allows for an easy transition to IEEE 1149.7™
  • IEEE 1149.7™ uses half the pins of the IEEE 1149.1 standard, which reduces device costs and package size
  • Provides a standard gateway to access other on-chip test and debug components (ex: IEEE 1500, IEEE P1687, etc.)
  • Four standard power-down modes simplify board and chip testing and applications debugging for power sensitive products
  • Shortened scan chain lengths allows for faster debug operations and data transfers concurrent with debug transactions
