IC TAP with dual port router and additional capture input

摘要

This disclosure describes a test architecture that supports a common approach to testing individual die and dies in a 3D stack arrangement. The test architecture uses an improved TAP design to facilitate the testing of parallel test circuits within the die.

1. An integrated circuit comprising:
(a) a test data in lead, a test clock lead, a test mode select lead, a test data out lead, and a capture lead; (b) a TAP state machine having a clock input coupled to the test clock lead, a mode input coupled to the test mode select lead, data register control outputs, and instruction register control outputs; (c) an instruction register having a test data input coupled to the test data in lead, instruction register control inputs coupled to the instruction register control outputs, and instruction register outputs; (d) data registers having test data inputs coupled to the test data in lead, data register control inputs, and instruction register control inputs coupled to the instruction register outputs; and (e) dual port router circuitry having a capture input coupled to the capture lead, data register control inputs coupled to the data register control outputs of the TAP state machine, instruction register inputs coupled to the instruction register outputs, and data register control outputs coupled to the data register control inputs of the data registers.
