Home2005 • Phillips releases ICX Virtual Instrument for VXI

INDUSTRY, California (Februay 8, 2005) Phillips has released the enhanced Intelligent Configurable Interface (ICX) high density virtual instrument for the VXI platform. The ICX C-size VXI instrument marries a flexible, 192 channel high-performance digital and analog front-end test interface with the power of ACEX® programmable real-time Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) from Altera®.

The channel density of ICX allows VXI test system developers to achieve new levels of integrated test capability. Coupled with the flexibility built into each channel, test execution time can significantly improved by reducing or eliminating the need for conventional scanner-based test methods.

In additional to improved operational performance, ICX reduces the time necessary to develop Test Program Sets (TPSs). Rather than using proprietary, cumbersome “waveform editor” style TPS development tools, the FPGA-based ICX supports test code development using industry standard development and simulation tools. Developers can generate code in languages such as Verilog® or VHDL, and simulate / validate them offline. Compiled run-time modules (RTMs) are downloaded to the ICX cards through the VXI backplane interface to support testing. ICX brings these benefits to the testing arena.

Enhancements to the ICX variable voltage line include 30mV accuracy across all channels and logical states, integrated and automated self-test and calibration, and real-time auto-tuning on all channels to 5mV. Enhancements to the ICX TTL / differential TTL line include expanded bandwith to 25MHz.

ICX pricing starts at $3,000, and is available now.
