The 'ACT8997 are members of the Texas InstrumentsSCOPETM testability integrated-circuit family. This familyof components facilitates testing of complex circuit-boardassemblies.
The 'ACT8997 enhance the scan capability of TI'sSCOPETM family by allowing augmentation of a system'sprimary scan path with secondary scan paths (SSPs), which can beindividually selected by the 'ACT8997 for inclusion in the primaryscan path. These devices also provide buffering of test signals toreduce the need for external logic.
By loading the proper values into the instruction register anddata registers, the user can select up to four SSPs to be included ina primary scan path. Any combination of the SSPs can be selected at atime. Any of the device's six data registers or the instructionregister can be placed in the device's scan path, i.e., placedbetween test data input (TDI) and test data output (TDO) forsubsequent shift and scan operations.
All operations of the device except counting are synchronous tothe test clock pin (TCK). The 8-bit programmable up/down counter canbe used to count transitions on the device condition input (DCI) pinand output interrupt signals via the device condition output (DCO)pin. The device can be configured to count on either the rising orfalling edge of DCI.
The test access port (TAP) controller is a finite-state machinecompatible with IEEE Standard 1149.1.
The SN54ACT8997 is characterized for operation over the fullmilitary temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. TheSN74ACT8997 is characterized for operation from 0°C to70°C.
