Abstract
The Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) protocol is a popular method to program field-programmable gate array (FPGA) devices where a more intelligent technology is not applicable. However, the original JTAG protocol is designed for a short-distance connection and is not necessarily suitable when the FPGA device is located in a remote radiation area. We developed a custom optical transmission technique for the JTAG protocol. A small receiver test board is developed based on discrete devices, and a multiport distributor is implemented on an FPGA board. We also developed a technique to overcome the latency due to serialization and cable length. We present the evaluation results and future applications.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science is a publication of the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society. It is viewed as the primary source of technical information in many of the areas it covers. As judged by JCR impact factor, TNS consistently ranks in the top five journals in the category of Nuclear Science & Technology. It has one of the higher immediacy indices, indicating that the information it publishes is viewed as timely, and has a relatively long citation half-life, indicating that the published information also is viewed as valuable for a number of years.
The IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science is published bimonthly. Its scope includes all aspects of the theory and application of nuclear science and engineering. It focuses on instrumentation for the detection and measurement of ionizing radiation; particle accelerators and their controls; nuclear medicine and its application; effects of radiation on materials, components, and systems; reactor instrumentation and controls; and measurement of radiation in space.
