Abstract:
An internal net of a digital circuit is virtually probed while performing a dynamic functional stimulation that includes changing vectors asserted to a dynamic functional interface. A JTAG SAMPLE command is triggered through a JTAG interface at a timing during the dynamic functional stimulation by controlling the timing of a JTAG TCK rising clock edge. Captured JTAG SAMPLE data is shifted out to the JTAG interface. The JTAG SAMPLE data, which includes the logic states of internal nets at a chosen timing during the dynamic functional stimulation, are stored. A sequence database is built by repeating the test with incrementally different JTAG rising clock edge timings.

Claim (Index 10):
A method of virtually probing a unit under test that includes a digital circuit with at least one JTAG device in communication with a JTAG interface, and including a dynamic functional interface, and the JTAG device includes a plurality of pins, and the method comprising:\n performing a dynamic functional stimulation by asserting a plurality of vectors that change during the dynamic functional stimulation to the dynamic functional interface; triggering a JTAG SAMPLE command through the JTAG interface at a predetermined timing during the dynamic functional stimulation by controlling a timing of a TCK rising clock edge, and JTAG SAMPLE data is captured responsive to the JTAG SAMPLE command; shifting out the captured JTAG SAMPLE data to the JTAG interface, and the JTAG SAMPLE data includes logic states of the pins at the predetermined timing during the dynamic functional stimulation; and storing the JTAG SAMPLE data.
