Abstract:
The present disclosure describes novel methods and apparatuses for directly accessing JTAG Tap domains that exist in a scan path of many serially connected JTAG Tap domains. Direct scan access to a selected Tap domain by a JTAG controller is achieved using auxiliary digital or analog terminals associated with the Tap domain and connected to the JTAG controller. During direct scan access, the auxiliary digital or analog terminals serve as serial data input and serial data output paths between the selected Tap domain and the JTAG controller.

Claim (Index 1):
An integrated circuit comprising:\n (a) core circuitry; (b) tap domain circuitry coupled to the core circuitry, the tap domain circuitry including a test data input, a test data output, a test clock input, a test mode select input, and control outputs; (c) auxiliary circuitry separate from the tap domain circuitry, the tap domain circuitry having auxiliary inputs, auxiliary outputs, a control input coupled to the control outputs, and output buffer control outputs; and (d) output buffers, each output buffer having an input coupled to an auxiliary output, a control input coupled to an output buffer control output, and an output.
