Mandatory features of IEEE 1149.1 compliant devices

E-mail Print PDF

The IEEE Std. 1149.1 specifies both mandatory and optional device features. Mandatory features include the following:

 

  • Every IEEE-1149.1 compliant device has to have implemented the following registers:IEEE 1149.1 compliant (BScan) device
    • Bypass Register (1 bit long, capture value binary ‘0’)
    • Boundary Scan Register (design dependent length)
    • Instruction Register (at least two bit long, capture value binary ‘xx…01’)
  • Every IEEE-1149.1 compliant device has to support the following test instructions:
    • BYPASS (opcode binary ’11…1’, and perhaps others)
    • SAMPLE (opcode defined by component designer)
    • PRELOAD (may be combined with SAMPLE, opcode defined by component designer)
    • EXTEST (opcode defined by component designer)
  • Every IEEE-1149.1 compliant device has to provide four test bus signals:
    • TCK (Test Clock)
    • TMS (Test Mode Select)
    • TDI (Test Data In)
    • TDO (Test Data Out)
  • Any negation of signal values within the Boundary Scan register is not permitted.
  • Internal pull-up resistors are required on TDI and TMS. 
  • Avoid Ground-Bounce problems.
A mandatory BSDL file, provided by the device manufacturer, defines the public Boundary Scan test resources available within the IEEE-1149.1 compliant device.
For a complete description of all mandatory features refer to the IEEE Std. 1149.1-2001 specification.
