 JTAG - Mandatory instructions defined by IEEE standard 1149.1   Record #1174
 
Problem Title:JTAG - Mandatory instructions defined by IEEE standard 1149.1
 
 
 Problem Description:
 Urgency: Standard
 
 General Description:
 
 What are the mandatory Boundary Scan instructions defined by the
 IEEE 1149.1 standard?
 
 
 
 Solution 1:
 
 The only JTAG instructions which are defined and required
 by the IEEE 1149.1 standard are BYPASS, EXTEST and
 SAMPLE/PRELOAD.
 
 BYPASS is defined as all bits in the IR as all ones.
 EXTEST is defined as all bits in the IR as all zeros.
 
 The standard has not designated a mandatory bit pattern for the
 SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction . This is controlled by the IC
 manufacturer.
 
 All other JTAG instructions are defined by the IC manufacturer and
 can be found in the BSDL file or in the data sheets
