Abstract:
The present disclosure describes using the JTAG Tap's TMS and/or TCK terminals as general purpose serial Input/Output (I/O) Manchester coded communication terminals. The Tap's TMS and/or TCK terminal can be used as a serial I/O communication channel between; (1) an IC and an external controller, (2) between a first and second IC, or (3) between a first and second core circuit within an IC. The use of the TMS and/or TCK terminal as serial I/O channels, as described, does not effect the standardized operation of the JTAG Tap, since the TMS and/or TCK I/O operations occur while the Tap is placed in a non-active steady state.

Claim (Index 6):
The debug interface of an integrated circuit of  claim 2  including:\n (a) access port circuitry coupled to the TCK input pin, the TDI input pin, the TDO output pin, and the TMS inout pin and including controller circuitry operable according to IEEE 1149.1 protocol and coupled to the TMS inout pin and the TCK input pin, an instruction register connected to the TDI input pin, and a data register connected to the TDI input pin; and \n (b) serial communication circuitry separate from the access port circuitry, the serial communication circuitry being coupled to the TMS inout pin to input data serially from the TMS inout pin and to output data serially to the TMS pin.
