5.10TAP Interface (JTAG)

The IXF1104 MAC includes an IEEE 1149.1 compliant Test Access Port (TAP) interface used during boundary scan testing. The interface consists of the following five signals:

TDI – Serial Data Input

TMS – Test Mode Select

TCLK – TAP Clock

TRST_L – Active Low asynchronous reset for the TAP

TDO – Serial Data Output

TDI and TMS require external pull-up resistors to float the signals High per the IEEE 1149.1 specification. Pull-ups are recommended on TCK and TDO. For normal operation, TRST_L can be pulled Low, permanently disabling the JTAG interface. If the JTAG interface is used, the TAP controller must be reset as described in Section 5.10.1, “TAP State Machine” on page 123 and returned to a logic High.

5.10.1TAP State Machine

The TAP signals drive a TAP controller, which implements the 16-state state machine specified by the IEEE 1149.1 specification. Following power-up, the TAP controller must be reset by one of following two mechanisms:

Asynchronous reset

Synchronous reset

Asynchronous reset is achieved by pulsing or holding TRST_L Low. Synchronous reset is achieved by clocking TCLK with five clock pulses while TMS is held or floats High. This ensures that the boundary scan cells do not block the pin to core connections in the IXF1104 MAC.
