Cybersecurity and privacy risk assessment of point-of-care systems in healthcare: A use case approach
Contents
MICTOR is an acronym for Matched Impedance ConnecTOR, a product line of vertical board to board connectors. Produced by TE Connectivity, they are attached to printed circuit boards using surface-mount technology.[1] They can be used for probing boards.
Usage
MICTOR are used in HP and Tektronix logic analyzers.[2] Connectors can be used even for very-high frequency applications, up to 100-ps rise time.[3]
Some of Mictor signals can be used for JTAG, e.g. in FPGA debugging variants of the connector.[4] Along with JTAG, Mictor connectors can also carry hardware trace signals like ARM CoreSight ETM (Embedded Trace Macrocell) or PTM (Program Trace Macrocell).[5]
Variants
Minimal variant of MICTOR consists of 38 signal positions; larger variants are designed up to 266 signals (with 38 increments). Connector is usually surface mounted.
