Patent ID: 8140924

Claim:
An integrated circuit comprising: A. functional circuitry; B. a test data in lead, a test clock lead, a test mode select lead, and a test data out lead; and C. test access port circuitry including: i. a data register having an input connected to the test data in lead, connections to the functional circuitry, a first control input, a second control input, and a test data output; ii. an instruction register having an input connected to the test data in lead, a control input, a control output connected to the first control input of the data register, and a test data output; iii. a multiplexer having a data inputs connected to the data outputs of the data register and the instruction register, a control input, and an output connected to the test data out lead; iv. a state machine having an input connected to the test clock lead, an input connected to the test mode select lead, and control outputs connected to the second control input of the data register and to the control input of the instruction register, the state machine including an input coupled to an enable lead.
