The 'ABTH18502A and 'ABTH182502A scan test devices with 18-bituniversal bus transceivers are members of the Texas Instruments SCOPEtestability 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, these devices are 18-bit universal bustransceivers that combine D-type latches and D-type flip-flops toallow data flow in transparent, latched, or clocked modes. They canbe used either as two 9-bit transceivers or one 18-bit transceiver.The test circuitry can be activated by the TAP to take snapshotsamples of the data appearing at the device pins or to perform a selftest on the boundary-test cells. Activating the TAP in the normalmode does not affect the functional operation of the SCOPE universalbus transceivers.
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 SCOPE universal bustransceivers is inhibited and the test circuitry is enabled toobserve and control the I/O boundary of the device. When enabled, thetest circuitry performs boundary-scan test operations according tothe 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.
Improved scan efficiency is accomplished through the adoption of aone boundary-scan cell (BSC) per I/O pin architecture. Thisarchitecture is implemented in such a way as to capture the mostpertinent test data. A PSA/COUNT instruction also is included to easethe testing of memories and other circuits where a binary countaddressing scheme is useful.
Active bus-hold circuitry holds unused or floating data inputs ata valid logic level.
The B-port outputs of 'ABTH182502A, which are designed to sourceor sink up to 12 mA, include 25-
series resistors to reduce overshoot and undershoot.
The SN54ABTH18502A and SN54ABTH182502A are characterized foroperation over the full military temperature range of -55°C to125°C. The SN74ABTH18502A and SN74ABTH182502A are characterizedfor operation from -40°C to 85°C.
A-to-B data flow is shown. B-to-A data flow is similar butuses OEBA\, LEBA, and CLKBA.
