Abstract:
A test control port (TCP) includes a state machine SM, an instruction register IR, data registers DRs, a gating circuit and a TDO MX. The SM inputs TCI signals and outputs control signals to the IR and to the DR. During instruction or data scans, the IR or DRs are enabled to input data from TDI and output data to the TDO MX and the top surface TDO signal. The bottom surface TCI inputs may be coupled to the top surface TCO signals via the gating circuit. The top surface TDI signal may be coupled to the bottom surface TDO signal via TDO MX. This allows concatenating or daisy-chaining the IR and DR of a TCP of a lower die with an IR and DR of a TCP of a die stacked on top of the lower die.

Claim (Index 1):
A test control port comprising:\n (a) a first test data input, a test control input, and a first test data output; (b) a second test data output, a test control output, a second test data input, and control outputs; (c) an instruction register having an instruction register control input coupled to the test control input, a data input coupled to the first test data input, a data output coupled to the first test data output, and instruction register control outputs; (d) a data register having a data register control input coupled to the test control input, a data input coupled to the first test data input, and a data output coupled to the first test data output; (e) gating circuitry having an input coupled to the test control input, an output coupled to the test control output, and an enable input coupled to the instruction register control outputs; and (f) multiplexer circuitry having an input coupled to the second test data input, an input coupled to the first test data output, an output coupled to the second test data output, and a select input coupled to the instruction register control outputs.
