The UAD2next acts as a bridge between the base model UAD2pro and the high-end tool UAD3+. Besides a large number of powerful debug and trace interfaces, such as DAP, SWD, JTAG, cJTAG and LPD, the UAD2next also supports CAN and ASC interfaces for access to the target. Robust trace modules, which can be easily plugged in as needed, ensure a fast and efficient transfer of trace data from the target into the UAD2next.

Together with the Universal Debug Engine® (UDE) the UAD2next provides a comprehensive and powerful support even for the latest heterogeneous multi-core SoCs.

The UAD2next Range Extender increases the distance between the Universal Access Device 2next (UAD2next) and the target system by up to two meters. This enables the UAD2next to be used in test environments where larger distances must be bridged between the debug access device and the device under test.

Access to the targets can take place with up to 100 MHz clock frequency optionally via various serial interfaces such as JTAG, cJTAG, Device Access Port (DAP/DAP2) or Serial Wire Debug (SWD). Synchronization during debugging of several core/targets is achieved by the UAD3+ hardware and firmware. Two different input voltage ranges - 1.6 to 5.5 Volts as standard or optionally 0.8 to 3.3 Volts - cover all possible applications.

In high end real-time trace, the highly flexible pod and connector designs ensure a simple and, at the same time, efficient support of various trace protocols (e.g. Aurora, CoreSight ETM, Nexus or OCDS L2). Here too, the distance between the trace pod on the target and the base unit may also be up to 5 meters. The recorded data can be complemented by automatically generated time stamps. With a trace memory of up to 4 GBytes, a maximal trace stream width of 32-bit and possible trace signals up to 500 MHz and 3.125 Gbit/s in serial trace, the UAD3+ is also ideally equipped for future tasks.
