The SN54ABT18245 scan test device with 18-bit bus transceivers is a member of the Texas Instruments SCOPETM testability integrated circuit family. This family of devices supports IEEE Standard 1149.1-1990 boundary scan to facilitate testing of complex circuit-board assemblies. Scan access to the test circuitry is accomplished via the 4-wire test access port (TAP) interface.
In the normal mode, this device contains 18-bit noninverting bus transceivers. It can be used either as two 9-bit transceivers or one 18-bit transceiver. The test circuitry can be activated by the TAP to take snapshot samples of the data appearing at the device pins or to perform a self test on the boundary-test cells. Activating the TAP in the normal mode does not affect the functional operation of the SCOPETM bus transceivers.
Data flow is controlled by the direction-control (DIR) and
output-enable (
) inputs. Data
transmission is allowed from the A bus to the B bus or from the B bus
to the A bus depending upon the logic level at DIR. The output-enable
(
) can be used
to disable the device so that the buses are effectively isolated.
In the test mode, the normal operation of the SCOPETM bus transceivers is inhibited and the test circuitry is enabled to observe and control the I/O boundary of the device. When enabled, the test circuitry performs boundary-scan test operations according to the protocol described in IEEE Standard 1149.1-1990.
Four dedicated test pins observe and control the operation of the test circuitry: test data input (TDI), test data output (TDO), test mode select (TMS), and test clock (TCK). Additionally, the test circuitry performs other testing functions such as parallel-signature analysis (PSA) on data inputs and pseudo-random pattern generation (PRPG) from data outputs. All testing and scan operations are synchronized to the TAP interface.
The SN54ABT18245 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.
