Operating state machine from reset to poll in to reset

摘要

An optimized JTAG interface is used to access JTAG Tap Domains within an integrated circuit. The interface requires fewer pins than the conventional JTAG interface and is thus more applicable than conventional JTAG interfaces on an integrated circuit where the availability of pins is limited. The interface may be used for a variety of serial communication operations such as, but not limited to, serial communication related integrated circuit test, emulation, debug, and/or trace operations.

1. A process of operating a state machine having an IN signal input, a Reset input, a Clock input, a Power On Reset input, a Master Reset output, and a Controller Enable output, comprising:
A. entering a Set Master Reset Low & Poll IN state in response to a signal on one of the Reset input and the Power On Reset input; B. outputting a low signal on the Master Reset output while the state machine is in the Set Master Reset Low & Poll IN state; C. maintaining the state machine in the Set Master Reset Low & Poll IN state while the IN input is a high signal; D. transitioning the state machine from the Set Master Reset Low & Poll IN state to a first POLL IN state when the IN input goes from a high signal to a low signal; E. transitioning the state machine from the first POLL IN state to a second POLL IN state when the IN input goes to a low signal and transitioning the state machine from the first POLL IN state to the Set Master Reset Low & Poll IN state when the IN goes to a high signal; F. transitioning the state machine from the second POLL IN state to a third POLL IN state when the IN input goes to a high signal and transitioning the state machine from the second POLL IN state to the Set Master Reset Low & Poll IN state when the IN goes to a low signal; G. transitioning the state machine from the third POLL IN state to a Set Master Reset & Controller Enable High state when the IN input goes to a high signal and transitioning the state machine from the third POLL IN state to the Set Master Reset Low & Poll IN state when the IN goes to a low signal; H. setting the Master Reset output to a high signal and setting the Controller Enable output to a high signal while the state machine is in the Set Master Reset & Controller Enable High state; I. maintaining the Set Master Reset Low & Poll IN state while the Reset input is a low signal; and J. transitioning the state machine from the Set Master Reset Low & Poll IN state to a Set Controller Enable Low state when the Reset input goes to a high signal.
