Miscellaneous signals used by the ARM720T processor are shown in Table A-7.

TableA-6 ATPG test signal descriptions

Name Type Description
TESTENABLE Input This signal ensures the clocks are free-running during scan
test. TESTENABLE must be:
tied HIGH throughout the duration of scan testing
tied LOW during functional mode.
SCANENABLE Input This signal enables serial shifting of vectors through the scan
chains. You must control this signal using the I/O pins. It must
be tied LOW during functional mode.
SCANIN0-SCANIN6 Inputs Processor core scan chain inputs.
SCANOUT0-SCANOUT6 Outputs Processor core scan chain outputs.
HCLK Input System clock. All signals are related to the rising edge of
HCLK.
HCLKEN Input Synchronous enable for AHB transfers. When HIGH,
indicates that the next rising edge of HCLK is also a rising
edge for the AHB system that the ARM720T processor is
embedded in. Must be tied HIGH in systems where the AMBA
bus and the core are intended to be the same frequency.
DBGTCKEN Input Synchronous enable for debug logic. Must be tied HIGH
during scan test.
HRESETn Input This is the active LOW reset signal for the system and bus.
DBGnTRST Input This is the active LOW reset signal for the internal state. This
signal is a level-sensitive asynchronous reset input.

TableA-7 Miscellaneous signal descriptions

Name Type Description
BIGENDOUT Output Big-endian format.
When this signal is HIGH, the processor treats bytes in memory as being in
big-endian format. When it is LOW, memory is treated as little-endian.
nFIQ Input ARM fast interrupt request signal.
nIRQ Input ARM interrupt request signal.
VINITHI Input Determines the state of the V bit in CP15 register c1 at reset. When HIGH, the
V bit is set coming out of rest. When LOW, the V bit is clear coming out of
reset.
