Abstract :
The use of AC coupled interconnects to provide communication paths between devices are increasing. The existing IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan standard (JTAG) has limitations that hinder it from being able to effectively test all AC coupled interconnects. This paper describes a simple enhancement to the JTAG architecture enabling it to operate in new modes facilitating AC interconnect testing.
