Some advantages of using the Agilent PLD ISP software over the SVF2PCF flow for
device programming are:
■
The tester can support the programming of devices using SVF, Jam STAPL, or JBC
file formats directly (that is, no conversion to PCF or VCL).
■
■
The Agilent 3070 digital test to program a device is only one file.
Pull-up and pull-down resistors are not required on the TCK and TMS lines in the
fixture of the tester since the device programming executes entirely as one test.
■
The size of the digital test source file as well as the compiled object file is much
smaller than with the SVF2PCF solution.
