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 13):
The debug interface of an integrated circuit of  claim 2  in which the integrated circuit includes core circuitry having data destination circuitry and data source circuitry, and including:\n (a) communication circuitry having data input circuitry coupled to the TMS inout pin and the data destination circuitry and data output circuitry coupled to the data source circuitry and the TMS inout pin; and \n (b) access port circuitry separate from the communication circuitry having a mode select input coupled to the TMS inout pin and a clock input coupled to the TCK input pin, the access port circuitry including state machine circuitry connected to the mode select input and the clock input and having control outputs, the access port circuitry including an instruction register and a data register connected to the control outputs of the state machine circuitry.
