ADVANCE
IDENTIFICATION (ID) REGISTER
The ID register is loaded with a vendor-specific, 32-bit
code during the Capture-DR state when the IDCODE com-
mand is loaded in the instruction register. The IDCODE is
hardwired into the SRAM and can be shifted out when the
TAP controller is in the Shift-DR state. The ID register has
a vendor code and other information described in the
Identification Register Definitions table.
TAP INSTRUCTION SET
OVERVIEW
Eight different instructions are possible with the three-
bit instruction register. All combinations are listed in the
Instruction Codes table. Three of these instructions are
listed as RESERVED and should not be used. The other
five instructions are described in detail below.
The TAP controller used in this SRAM is not fully com-
pliant to the 1149.1 convention because some of the man-
datory 1149.1 instructions are not fully implemented. The
TAP controller cannot be used to load address, data or
control signals into the SRAM and cannot preload the I/O
buffers. The SRAM does not implement the 1149.1 com-
mands EXTEST or INTEST or the PRELOAD portion of
SAMPLE/PRELOAD; rather, it performs a capture of the
I/O ring when these instructions are executed.
Instructions are loaded into the TAP controller during
the Shift-IR state when the instruction register is placed
between TDI and TDO. During this state, instructions are
shifted through the instruction register through the TDI
and TDO pins. To execute the instruction once it is shifted
in, the TAP controller needs to be moved into the Update-
IR state.
EXTEST
EXTEST is a mandatory 1149.1 instruction which is to
be executed whenever the instruction register is loaded
with all 0s. EXTEST is not implemented in this SRAM TAP
controller, and therefore this device is not compliant to
1149.1.
The TAP controller does recognize an all-0 instruction.
When an EXTEST instruction is loaded into the instruc-
tion register, the SRAM responds as if a SAMPLE/PRELOAD
instruction has been loaded. There is one difference be-
tween the two instructions. Unlike the SAMPLE/PRELOAD
instruction, EXTEST places the SRAM outputs in a High-Z
state.
IDCODE
The IDCODE instruction causes a vendor-specific, 32-
bit code to be loaded into the instruction register. It also
places the instruction register between the TDI and TDO
pins and allows the IDCODE to be shifted out of the device
when the TAP controller enters the Shift-DR state. The
IDCODE instruction is loaded into the instruction register
upon power-up or whenever the TAP controller is given a
test logic reset state.
SAMPLE Z
The SAMPLE Z instruction causes the boundary scan
register to be connected between the TDI and TDO pins
when the TAP controller is in a Shift-DR state. It also
places all SRAM outputs into a High-Z state.
SAMPLE/PRELOAD
SAMPLE/PRELOAD is a 1149.1 mandatory instruction.
The PRELOAD portion of this instruction is not imple-
mented, so the device TAP controller is not fully 1149.1-
compliant.
When the SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction is loaded
into the instruction register and the TAP controller is in
the Capture-DR state, a snapshot of data on the inputs and
bidirectional pins is captured in the boundary scan regis-
ter.
The user must be aware that the TAP controller clock
can only operate at a frequency up to 10 MHz, while the
SRAM clock operates more than an order of magnitude
faster. Because there is a large difference in the clock
frequencies, it is possible that during the Capture-DR
state, an input or output will undergo a transition. The
TAP may then try to capture a signal while in transition
(metastable state). This will not harm the device, but there
is no guarantee as to the value that will be captured.
Repeatable results may not be possible.
To guarantee that the boundary scan register will cap-
ture the correct value of a signal, the SRAM signal must be
stabilized long enough to meet the TAP controller’s cap-
ture setup plus hold time (tCS plus tCH). The SRAM clock
input might not be captured correctly if there is no way in
a design to stop (or slow) the clock during a SAMPLE/
PRELOAD instruction. If this is an issue, it is still possible
to capture all other signals and simply ignore the value of
the CK and CK# captured in the boundary scan register.
Once the data is captured, it is possible to shift out the
data by putting the TAP into the Shift-DR state. This places
the boundary scan register between the TDI and TDO
pins.
Note that since the PRELOAD part of the command is
not implemented, putting the TAP to the Update-DR state
while performing a SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction will
have the same effect as the Pause-DR command.
