The Fast Access Controller (FAC) is Intellitech's specialized solution designed for fast and efficient programming of on-board Flash memory, particularly beneficial in production environments. This pre-engineered IP is ideal for designers of processors, SoCs, and ASICs seeking enhanced test capabilities and performance in Flash programming. A key feature of the FAC is its ability to load a minimal bitstream that enables high-speed data transfer to Flash over the IEEE 1149.1 bus.
This capability is particularly valuable in reducing the time and complexity associated with programming external memory components on PCBs, making it a preferred choice for environments requiring rapid throughput. By integrating FAC into a PCB design, engineers can respond to customer demands for improved Design-for-Test methodologies and seamless production support without incurring additional costs.
FAC is seamlessly integrated with the Eclipse Test Development Environment, ensuring that it is fully supported in both lab and production line settings. This integration not only enables rapid test development and validation but also allows for consistent application across different stages of a product's lifecycle.
