Patent Classification: ["714", "732000"]

Abstract:
The disclosure describes novel methods and apparatuses for accessing test compression architectures (TCA) in a device using either a parallel or serial access technique. The serial access technique may be controlled by a device tester or by a JTAG controller. Further the disclosure provides an approach to access the TCA of a device when the device exists in a daisy-chain arrangement with other devices, such as in a customer's system. Additional embodiments are also provided and described in the disclosure.

Claim (Index 1):
An integrated circuit comprising:\n (a) a test clock input and a test mode select input; (b) a serial data input and a serial data output; (c) a first shift register having a serial input coupled to the serial data input, a shift clock input, and having parallel outputs; (d) a decompressor having inputs coupled to the parallel outputs of the first shift register and having decompressor outputs; (e) scan paths, each scan path including flip flops coupled in series and having a scan input coupled to a decompressor output, a scan clock input, and having a scan output; (f) a compressor having inputs coupled to the scan outputs and having parallel compressor outputs; (e) a second shift register having parallel inputs coupled to the parallel compressor outputs, a shift clock input, and having a serial output coupled to the serial data output; and (f) a controller having a shift clock output coupled to the shift clock inputs of the first shift register and the second shift register and a scan clock output coupled to the scan clock inputs of the scan paths.
