Manta Systems manufactures and offers a NanoPlex™ Series of Universal ISP Relay Demultiplexers. They are applied at electronic production lines when for example memories or microcontrollers mounted on PCB boards have to be programmed. NanoPlex is the low-cost alternative solution to extend number of available ISP (In System Programming) channels. It allows, instead of buying expensive multi-channel programmers or more single channel units, to switch signals between several modules on the paneled PCB board or independent ones and program them sequentially. It’s compatible with an all ISP programmers also with our SMH Technologies and Algocraft products. It can be also easy applied with any customize specialized solution as an universal relay multiplexer/demultiplexer.
Manta NanoPlex™ modules are design for piggyback mounting and can be easily placed on motherboards of Automated Fixture Test Systems. As an universal multiplexer/demultiplexer they can be used for switching of any control signals for example used while boundary-scan testing JTAG signals.
NPS-06-01-04A is a basic NanoPlex module that supports 6 signals per channel and extend 1 input channel to 4 output channels. So as an demultiplexer it multiplies x4 input channel (input signals). Several modules can be used to realize any other multiplications for example in a cascade or parallel structure realized as a “sandwich” construction.
