The SN54ABT18502 scan test device with 18-bit universal bustransceiver is a member of the Texas Instruments SCOPETMtestability integrated circuit family. This family of devicessupports IEEE Standard 1149.1-1990 boundary scan to facilitatetesting of complex circuit-board assemblies. Scan access to the testcircuitry is accomplished via the 4-wire test access port (TAP)interface.
In the normal mode, this device is an 18-bit universal bustransceiver that combines D-type latches and D-type flip-flops toallow data flow in transparent, latched, or clocked modes. It can beused either as two 9-bit transceivers or one 18-bit transceiver. Thetest circuitry can be activated by the TAP to take snapshot samplesof the data appearing at the device pins or to perform a self test onthe boundary-test cells. Activating the TAP in the normal mode doesnot affect the functional operation of the SCOPETMuniversal bus transceiver.
Data flow in each direction is controlled by output-enable (
is high, the Boutputs are in the high-impedance state. B-to-A data flow is similarto A-to-B data flow but uses the
, LEBA, and CLKBA inputs.
In the test mode, the normal operation of the SCOPETMuniversal bus transceivers is inhibited and the test circuitry isenabled to observe and control the I/O boundary of the device. Whenenabled, the test circuitry performs boundary-scan test operationsaccording to the protocol described in IEEE Standard 1149.1-1990.
Four dedicated test pins observe and control the operation of thetest circuitry: test data input (TDI), test data output (TDO), testmode select (TMS), and test clock (TCK). Additionally, the testcircuitry performs other testing functions such as parallel-signatureanalysis (PSA) on data inputs and pseudo-random pattern generation(PRPG) from data outputs. All testing and scan operations aresynchronized to the TAP interface.
Additional flexibility is provided in the test mode through theuse of two boundary-scan cells (BSCs) for each I/O pin. This allowsindependent test data to be captured and forced at either bus (A orB). A PSA/COUNT instruction also is included to ease the testing ofmemories and other circuits where a binary count addressing scheme isuseful.
The SN54ABT18502 is characterized for operation over the fullmilitary temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.
