Acculogic Displays Full Range of Test Systems


Markham, Ontario, Canada — Acculogic has developed a range of test solutions, from flying probe testers and customizable test sta- tions, to boundary scan test tools. The company is now offering its


which can be configured to perform in-circuit, functional and boundary testing, and in-system programming. The system allows users a high level of test coverage in one manufactur- ing stage, perform device program- ming, and do so at high throughput. Equipped with a quick-changeover, mechanical test fixture, the Scorpion Briz has no need for a vacuum pump. This allows the system to be deployed quickly and easily at vari- ous locations on the production floor. The company’s comprehensive


FLS980Dxi flying probe test system.


FLS980 series III flying probe test system with the Ultimate Accuracy Package, including such high- throughput features as the latest version flying bed of nails (FBON). The company has also released its new ThermoScan thermal imaging and MicroScan miniature observa- tion and test solutions. Acculogic also offers the


Scorpion Briz, a compact, completely customizable, all-in-one test station,


line of boundary scan test tools can be used throughout the entire prod- uct lifecycle, starting with design verification and validation and con- tinuing into pilot production and manufacturing. Using these tools in field service and repair depots can help further reduce test cost and cycle time.


Acculogic’s ScanNavigator inte-


grated boundary scan test environ- ment offers a quick, easy and cost- effective way to perform boundary scan using Teradyne’s Di-series, C-


size VXI digital test instruments. Contact: Acculogic, Inc., 175

Cortus Launches IP Core for Embedded Systems


Sunnyvale, CA — Cortus has released its APS29, a high perform- ance, dual-issue version of its APS25 IP core. This is the fourth in a family of products based on the Cortus v2 instruction set. The core is aimed at embedded systems that require com- putational performance while also delivering efficient silicon area and modest power dissipation. The APS29 has a Harvard


architecture, sixteen 32-bit registers, a 64-bit accumulator and a 5-7 stage pipeline. The APS29 has two execu- tion units, enabling it to execute up to two instructions at once, the two units are similar and both access the register set. One of the two ALUs has a multiply-accumulate unit, while the other has the more simple multi- plier. The processor automatically dispatches the multiply-accumulate instructions to the appropriate exe- cution unit and also contains a branch predictor and a load/store unit which combines adjacent 32 bit operations into a single 64 bit opera- tion. The core delivers 3.09 DMIPS/ MHz and 3.63 CoreMarks/MHz, which is about 47 percent more than the comparable single-issue APS25. The device supports 64-bit


AXI4TM buses enabling two 32-bit reads or two 32-bit writes to be undertaken simultaneously with a 64 bit fetch for instructions. Using 28 nm technology the CPU area starts at around 0.037 mm2 and when opti- mized for speed can achieve 1,400 MHz. Up to eight coprocessors can be added to an APS29 core. The Cortus coprocessor interface allows licensees to add custom coprocessors, for example to accelerate computations in cryptography or signal processing,


without knowing details of the core’s internals. All cores interface to the compa-


ny’s peripherals including Ethernet MAC 10/100, USB 2.0 and USB 2.0 OTG. They also share the simple vec- tored interrupt structure, ensuring rapid, real-time interrupt response, with low software overhead. The APS tool chain and IDE (for


C and C++) is available to licensees free of charge, and can be customized and branded for final customer use. Ports of various RTOS are available such as FreeRTOS™, Micrium µC/OSII®, Micrium µC/OSIII®, and


TargetOS™. Contact: Cortus, Inc., 1290 Oakmead Parkway, Suite 208,
