IJTG

The document discusses IJTAG (Internal JTAG), which extends the functionality of JTAG to provide standardized access to embedded instruments within an IC. IJTAG uses the JTAG TAP interface and defines a standardized protocol to automate access to embedded instruments through a logical hierarchical structure. Key benefits of IJTAG include uniform access to IP, reduced design schedules, and minimum cycle count for accessing internal IP. IJTAG differs from JTAG in its standardized and plug-and-play capability for internal instrument control.

Overview

 What is IJTAG
 Advantages of IJTAG
 Differences between JTAG& IJTAG
What is IJTAG?

 IJTAG: Internal JTAG


 IJTAG uses the JTAG TAP as the primary interface, but extends the operation
considerably.
 One of the key features is that it standardises the interface for embedded
instruments, along with the description of their operation, and connectivity
through the design hierarchy.
 To ensure the greatest level of functionality the new IJTAG system defined by
IEEE 1687 provides additional access and functionality over that which could
be obtained from the basic JTAG TAP.
Who will use IEEE P1687 IJTAG?

 It will be applied at the chip and board levels

Chip level:
 IJTAG useful during design verification when it will be used in conjunction
with a simulator or emulator.
 IJTAG will also be deployed in the ATE test environment where it will become
part of chip test, chip debug/diagnostics and chip characterization .
Board level:
 the IEEE P1687 IJTAG standard will be used to access instruments that are
embedded in chips to perform board-level test, debug/diagnostics and
characterization.
Advantages of IJTAG

 Uniform access and usage of embedded IEEE 1687 compliant IP independent


of the IP source
 Expands availability of embedded IP choices
 Reduces design schedules by accelerating integration of IEEE 1687 compliant
IP
 Achieves minimum cycle count for accessing IP within a reconfigurable
network

IJTAG ARCHITECTURE
 On the right, it shows how the IJTAG network interfaces to the IJTAG-
compliant embedded instruments with the IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan
standard’s Test Access Port (TAP) on the left.
 The TAP functions as the interface for the embedded P1687 IJTAG
architecture to the world outside of the chip.
 Essentially, IEEE P1687 IJTAG allows the boundary-scan TAP and its TAP
Controller to access instruments that are embedded on-chip.
 Several IJTAG concepts are shown in this illustration, including the Segment
Insertion Bit (SIB) and Procedural Description Language (PDL).
Segment-Insertion-Bit (SIB)
 One of the key elements defined in the IEEE P1687 IJTAG standard is the
Segment Insertion Bit (SIB).
 The Key Element for Adding, Organizing, Managing Embedded Content.
 A SIB is similar to an IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan shift/update cell, but the SIB
is used to dynamically configure an on-chip P1687 IJTAG scan path to meet
the requirements of a particular set of test vectors.
 ‘Selecting’ a certain SIB can activate a portion of the chip’s IJTAG scan path
and consequently activate the instrument(s) on that segment of the scan
path.
 Conversely, ‘de-selecting’ a SIB will deactivate a portion of the chip’s overall
scan path and render the instruments on that segment inaccessible.
 Instruments on a deactivated segment of the scan path cannot be accessed
as long as the scan path segment is deactivated, but they can still execute
test vectors while they are offline.
