Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
222 words
An integrated circuit comprising: A. microprocessor circuitry including input leads, output leads, and internal logic, the internal logic including an arithmetic and logic unit and an accumulator; and B. a test access port connected to a test mode select signal, a test clock signal, a test reset signal, a test data in signal, and a test data out signal, the test access port including: i. a tap controller connected to the test mode select signal, the test clock signal and the test reset signal; ii. an instruction register connected to the test data in signal, the test data out signal, and the tap controller; iii. a boundary scan register connected to the test data in signal, the test data out signal and the instruction register, the boundary scan register including a boundary scan serial scan path of registers connected to the input leads and output leads of the microprocessor circuitry; iv. a bypass register connected to the test data in signal, the test data out signal and the instruction register; and v. an emulation register connected to the test data in signal, the test data out signal and the instruction register, the emulation register including an emulation serial scan path of registers connected to the internal logic of the microprocessor circuitry and separate from the boundary scan serial scan path of registers.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
222 words
An integrated circuit comprising: A. microprocessor circuitry including input leads, output leads, and internal logic, the internal logic including an arithmetic and logic unit and an accumulator; and B. a test access port connected to a test mode select signal, a test clock signal, a test reset signal, a test data in signal, and a test data out signal, the test access port including: i. a tap controller connected to the test mode select signal, the test clock signal and the test reset signal; ii. an instruction register connected to the test data in signal, the test data out signal, and the tap controller; iii. a boundary scan register connected to the test data in signal, the test data out signal and the instruction register, the boundary scan register including a boundary scan serial scan path of registers connected to the input leads and output leads of the microprocessor circuitry; iv. a bypass register connected to the test data in signal, the test data out signal and the instruction register; and v. an emulation register connected to the test data in signal, the test data out signal and the instruction register, the emulation register including an emulation serial scan path of registers connected to the internal logic of the microprocessor circuitry and separate from the boundary scan serial scan path of registers.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
An integrated circuit of claim 1 including a control register in series with the emulation serial scan path, the control register controlling at least one operation of the microprocessor circuitry.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
54 words
An integrated circuit of claim 1 including a data register in series with the emulation serial scan path, the data register receiving data from the emulation serial scan path and transmitting data to the emulation serial scan path, the data register providing data to the microprocessor circuitry and receiving data from the microprocessor circuitry.
