Description

This document shows a method that enables an IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan test bus controller to hierarchically access and test 1149.1 circuits independent of circuit location within electronic systems. This approach allows the 1149.1 test bus to be used hierarchically as a system level test bus instead of restricting its use to the board level. An example of the connections for the hierarchic
