Record #992

Product Family: Hardware

Product Line: 5200

Product Part: 5200

Problem Title:
XC5200 JTAG - Sample/Preload in a XC5200 appears to work like BYPASS


Problem Description:
Urgency: standard

General Description:
After loading the SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction in a 5K device, the
data being shifted in to the device starts appearing on the TDO pin
one TCK later. In other words, the SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction appears
to work like the BYPASS instruction.

All other instructions appear to work correctly.


Solution 1:

If the XC5200 /PROGRAM pin is held low, the SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction
can not be executed. Before executing boundary scan instructions
in the XC5200, make sure that the /PROG pin is not held low.
