IP-Debug-Bus is a specialized extender card optimized for Integration, and test of IP Modules. The IndustryPack control bus signals are accessible via test points. The testpoints include multiple ground locations and .025 sq. posts for ease of connection to your logic analyzer or scope. The testpoints are labeled in the silkscreen for easy identification.
All IP Module control bus signals covered including rarely used ones like "error". Signals are properly routed and controlled to allow seamless operation. Tested with 8 and 32 MHz. IP operation. Dynamic Engineering uses IP-Debug-Bus in design/integration and production test.
Power is controlled with an on-board switch to allow the IP Module to be powered down without turning off the host system -
hot swap operation. The logic signals are automatically isolated with "quick switch" technology when the power is disabled. LEDs indicate when power is applied. A remote connector position is supplied to allow a remote switch to control the power switching for production environments. "Self healing" fuses are provided for power protection.
Allow the host to connect the driver to the installed IP module. After that you can power the IP Module down to add test points, swap units etc. and power on to immediately use the same software "connection" to the IndustryPack device. Since the address is static no reload issues like you have with PCI, PCIe etc.
Narrow profile to allow use in pairs for double wide IP Modules, or just two modules in adjacent positions.
.002 ohm resistors in-line with power connections allow measurement of the IP power Epads provided on both sides of each measurement resistor to allow ease of measurement. Alternatively the resistor or inline fuse can be removed and an inline measurement device used.
Use with
IP-Debug-IO for a complete debugging solution.
IP-Debug-IO provides testpoints and a
ribbon cable connector for the IO connector. The IP can be connected to the system through the ribbon cable connector and probed at the same time.
