The SN54ABT18245 scan test device with 18-bit bus transceivers isa member 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 contains 18-bit noninverting bustransceivers. It can be used either as two 9-bit transceivers or one18-bit transceiver. The test circuitry can be activated by the TAP totake snapshot samples of the data appearing at the device pins or toperform a self test on the boundary-test cells. Activating the TAP inthe normal mode does not affect the functional operation of theSCOPETM bus transceivers.
Data flow is controlled by the direction-control (DIR) andoutput-enable (
) inputs. Datatransmission is allowed from the A bus to the B bus or from the B busto the A bus depending upon the logic level at DIR. The output-enable(
) can be usedto disable the device so that the buses are effectively isolated.
In the test mode, the normal operation of the SCOPETMbus transceivers 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.
The SN54ABT18245 is characterized for operation over the fullmilitary temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.
