This unit
The JTAG Technologies PM3705 Explorer is a boundary-scan controller engineered for structural board testing and in-system programming of programmable logic devices and flash memories. This self-contained desktop unit connects via PC parallel port and operates at 150 kHz, delivering two synchronized TAP output channels for simultaneous independent chain testing.
Technical Specifications The PM3705 Explorer targets 5V operation and maintains full compliance with IEEE 1149.1, IEEE 1149.6, IEEE 1149.4, and IEEE 1532 standards. The dual TAP channels enable parallel test execution across multiple boundary-scan chains with synchronized control for coordinated test pattern application.
Key Features
Two parallel TAP output channels for simultaneous driving and observation of independent boundary-scan chains
PC parallel port host interface operating at the inherent speed of 150 kHz
TAP channel synchronization for coordinated multi-device testing
Support for in-system programming (ISP) of (C)PLDs and flash memories
Structural boundary-scan testing capability
Connectorized form factor designed for portable bench-top deployment
Typical Applications The PM3705 Explorer is suited to engineering environments and low-volume production scenarios requiring board-level functional and structural test coverage. Primary use cases include PLD programming, flash memory programming, and comprehensive JTAG-based circuit validation during prototype development and small-batch manufacturing.
Compatibility & Integration The controller integrates with JTAG Technologies developer tools, including JTAG ProVision and JTAG Live software platforms. The parallel port interface and standards-compliant TAP implementation enable integration into existing JTAG test infrastructures without requiring specialized host adapters or protocol converters.

JTAG Technologies PM3705 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the JTAG Technologies PM3705. Calibration covers analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common JTAG Technologies PM3705 faults: power supply failure (cRIO-9073/9074), C-series slot connector wear, PXI chassis fan failure, GPIB interface failure on VXI controllers, BIOS/EEPROM corruption. NI CompactRIO most common faults are power supply failure on older cRIO-9073/9074 chassis and C-series module slot connector wear from repeated hot-swap cycles. PXI chassis fan failure is the most common wear item — chassis fans are field-replaceable. VXI embedded controllers most commonly develop EEPROM corruption and GPIB interface failure.
