SCOPE is a trademark of Texas Instruments Incorporated.
The SN74BCT8373 scan test device with octal D-type latches is amember of the Texas Instruments SCOPETM testabilityintegrated circuit family. This family of devices supports IEEEStandard 1149.1-1990 boundary scan to facilitate testing of complexcircuit-board assemblies. Scan access to the test circuitry isaccomplished via the 4-wire test access port (TAP) interface.
In the normal mode, this device is functionally equivalent to theSN74F373 and SN74BCT373 octal D-type latches. The test circuitry canbe activated by the TAP to take snapshot samples of the dataappearing at the device terminals or to perform a self test on theboundary-test cells. Activating the TAP in normal mode does notaffect the functional operation of the SCOPETM octallatches.
In the test mode, the normal operation of the SCOPETMoctal latches is inhibited and the test circuitry is enabled toobserve and control the I/O boundary of the device. When enabled, thetest circuitry can perform boundary-scan test operations as describedin IEEE Standard 1149.1-1990.
Four dedicated test terminals control the operation of the testcircuitry: test data input (TDI), test data output (TDO), test modeselect (TMS), and test clock (TCK). Additionally, the test circuitryperforms other testing functions such as parallel-signature analysis(PSA) on data inputs and pseudo-random pattern generation (PRPG) fromdata outputs. All testing and scan operations are synchronized to theTAP interface.
The SN74BCT8373 is characterized for operation from 0°C to70°C.
