What is IJTAG? What are Instruments? IJTAG is the P1687 Proposed Standard which will be designed to enable more efficient access and optimized interconnect to embedded logic and electrical/environmental monitors inside the chip: for all purposes: functional configuration, test, debug-diagnosis, yield for all environments: wafer probe, package test, die-stack, board test, in-system to promote reuse from one environment to the next P1687.0 will stipulate the 1149.1 JTAG port as the primary access mechanism Embedded content is defined as instruments and includes items such as: FCN: Bus Configuration, Pin Configuration, Power Modes, Clock Modes DFT: MBIST, LBIST, Scan-Compression, Test-Wrappers, Clock-Controllers DFD: Logic Analyzers, Bus Monitors, Traffic Monitors, Trace-Buffers, Hardware Assertions, Embedded O-Scopes DFY: Voltage Sensors, Temperature Sensors The goal is to enable standard control and configuration (architectures, connections, and interfaces) and to also: allow higher bandwidth data delivery to instruments that need it allow instrument-to-instrument communication allow TAP-asynchronous instrument operations (e.g. a fail flag)
6
What Problem Does IJTAG Solve? IJTAG solves two main problems: 1.Specifying how to Include embedded logic not meant for board test under the 1149.1 TAP and TAP Controller without causing problems with 1149.1 Compliance o Clogging up the 1149.1 BSDL with non-board test content – higher probability of bad BSDL o Badly or inadequately describing complex instruments o Growing the Instruction Register with tens, hundreds, or even thousands of instructions o Dealing with one-hot instructions (instead of IR encoding) o Dealing with hierarchical nesting and changing scan-path lengths 2.Enabling optimization, efficiency, and tradeoffs to be applied to the growing volume of embedded logic and electrical monitor content (instruments) in modern chips o Allows a variety of connections instead of just JTAG daisy chain (all-at-once serial) or star (one- at-a-time) o Allows organization of embedded content into groups and hierarchies… o …enables reuse of IP that may have entire instrument architectures (as opposed to TAPs) o Offloads the non-board-test content out of the 1149.1 Instruction Register

This portion is beyond BSDL and this is where the PDL needs to be applied.

I’m Confused??? Why all the complexity? Isn’t Daisy-Chain and Star enough – it seems to be good enough for the board world… …is there a difference inside the chip as opposed to outside the chip and on the board? And who is supposed to use this stuff anyway? How does it help board-test?
18
I’m Confused??? Why all the complexity? Isn’t Daisy-Chain and Star enough – it seems to be good enough for the board world… Chip Designers still get measured by successful implementation of meeting their engineering and budget goals Development of the access architecture versus chip tradeoffs is key …is there a difference inside the chip as opposed to outside the chip and on the board? And who is supposed to use this stuff anyway? How does it help board-test?
19
I’m Confused??? Why all the complexity? Isn’t Daisy-Chain and Star enough – it seems to be good enough for the board world… …is there a difference inside the chip as opposed to outside the chip and on the board? Right now, chips have an incredible amount of “embedded” test, debug, and yield logic that must be accessed One key technology is “power management” with requires shutting down clock domains and even power domains inside the chip And who is supposed to use this stuff anyway? How does it help board-test?

I’m Confused??? Why all the complexity? Isn’t Daisy-Chain and Star enough – it seems to be good enough for the board world… …is there a difference inside the chip as opposed to outside the chip and on the board? And who is supposed to use this stuff anyway? Use Case 1: Instruments-Only, Sub-Architectures given to integrator – result is an “inserted & verified” tradeoff-driven 1687 Architecture Use Case 2: Whole chip with 1687 Architecture given to chip-test engineers for wafer, package, die-stack test – locating instruments, reusable or auto-generated vectors; debug & diagnostics; data-collection Use Case 3: Multiple chips with 1687 Architectures given to board-test, system- development, or for in-system use to assess chip goodness/margins and to help board-test – locating instruments, reusable or auto-generated vectors; debug & diagnostics; data-collection; comparison to ATE test results How does it help board-test?

Isn’t Daisy-Chain and Star enough – it seems to be good enough for the board world… …is there a difference inside the chip as opposed to outside the chip and on the board? And who is supposed to use this stuff anyway? How does it help board-test? Testing complex board is no longer just about interconnect, chip orientation, and power delivery High-Speed routes and traces must be characterized (e.g. chip-to-chip SerDes channels with BERT and Eye-Diagrams) Chips must be re-verified in-situ because of different environment conditions from ATE test This requires operating the test logic and monitors associated with and embedded within chips

Do the Math (we are engineers, after all) Hierarchy –vs- Daisy-Chain: 5000 Bits of Daisy-Chain takes 5000 clocks each time an instrument is accessed (flush whole chain, put back whole value with modification for 1 instrument) – 10 accesses (capture, shift, updates) requires 10x5000 shifts + 10x5 protocol clocks (SeDR, CaDR, ShDR, E1DR, UpDR) = 50050 clocks With 50 Bits of L-0 SIBs and each Bit expands to 100 Bits of L-1 SIBs – is 5000 Bits in 2-Levels of Hierarchy – addressing the worst case instrument (farthest from TDI) is 50 Shifts + 5 Protocol Clocks to open the 50 th L-0 SIB; then shifting 150 Bits to reach the last instrument in the chain; times 10 accesses results in 55+10x150=1555 clocks Better more optimal hierarchical architectures are easily possible – instruments that need to be accessed a lot should be nearest SIB Bit[1] of the Level-0 Gateway; earlier hierarchy levels should have shorter registers – the image should look like a right-triangle Test Logic Reset 0 1 Run Test Idle 0 1 Select Data Register 1 0 Select Instruct Register 1 0 Update Data Register 1 0 Update Instruct Register 1 0 Capture Data Register 0 1 Capture Instruct Register 0 1 Exit 1 Data Register 0 1 Exit 1 Instruct Register 0 1 Exit 2 Data Register 1 0 Exit 2 Instruct Register 1 0 Pause Data Register 1 0 Pause Instruct Register 1 0 Shift Data Register 0 1 Shift Instruct Register 0 1 SIB[0] SIB[1] SIB[2] SIB[3] SIB[4] SIB[5] SIB[6] SIB[7] SIB[8] SIB[9] SIB[10] TDI TDO ScanPath Depth An Optimized Access Architecture

The IEEE 1500 Connection The 1500 WSP Configuration is ideally made for a Daisy-Chain connection: 1)because of the mandatory Bypass Register; and 2)would be best applied to a TAP Controller that either has no TAP-IR or the TAP- IR is concatenated to all 1500 WIRs (so the TAP-SM IR-Side can be used for the SelectWIR) 3)more commonly, 2 TAP Instructions select one 1500 WSP The 1500 Standard has stipulated that Data remain separated from Instructions: 1)which is only useful when there is only 1 1500 WSP, or the 1149.1 TAP does not support its own IR, or when all WIRs and the TAP IR are concatenated when the State-Machine is on the Instruction-Side 2)this is why 1500 is still a multiple parallel register architecture with the WIR, BYP, and any WBR/CDR configured in parallel 3)the WIR can only be selected by the SelectWIR signal while other registers are selected/configured by the WIR

What HW is missing or not quite described? Bandwidth Port Internal Instrument Bandwidth External Pin/Port Bandwidth Parallel versus Serial Asynchronous Events Instrument Events (triggers, breakpoints, assertions, flags) Pin/Port Events (semaphore, sync pulses, interrupts) Broadcast Events (resets, starts, stops) Instrument-to-Instrument Communication Actions of one instrument to another or many Actions of multiple instruments aggregated to one instrument
34
But “Serial and JTAG-Like” Isn’t Enough!!! Many have expressed concerned with Bandwidth and non- 1149.1 Sequences More instruments means more data – need higher bandwidth for some instruments Coordination between instruments – need instrument-to-instrument communication Non-1149.1 Operations – need to conduct and describe TAP- asynchronous instrument operations such as a “fail flag” or “action trigger” that occurs when a fail happens, not when the State- Machine happens to be in Capture-DR (e.g. capture the comparator bus immediately if a fail is detected)
35
Parallel Operations They already occur Only the serial shift-in and serial shift-out are not parallel operations Capture is a parallel load into the Shift/Capture Cell Update is a parallel load into the Update Cell JTAG Operations such as Extest, Intest, Clamp, HighZ are parallel operations To make use of these operations, terminology needs to be defined Read: currently capture+scan-out of the Shift/Capture Cell Write: currently scan-in+update of the Update Cell TAP Synchronous: Read or Write aligns with State-Machine TAP Asynchronous: Read or Write not aligned with State-Machine Data-Operation: Read or Write involving Data Control-Operation: Read or Write involving WIR
36
Parallel Notes How does this replace a non-JTAG Instrument Interface? Loading/Reading/Writing the parallel registers directly turns a multi-clock-cycle serial operation into a single-clock-cycle operation – Bandwidth Parallel Reads and Writes that are TAP-Synchronous use TCK to synchronize the data transfers Parallel Reads and Writes that are not TAP-Synchronous can use any clock or trigger to synchronize the data transfers Instruments can create the triggers that other instruments would use to conduct data/control transfers – facilitates Instrument-to- Instrument communication

Part II: The Description Languages This Section includes the description, documentation, development and file handoff of the 1687 Architecture

Speaking of IJTAG: Can you see what I am saying? How is all of this Documented and Described? What is the “language” (human and otherwise) associated with 1687 If a chip is full of instruments…and they come from multiple IP Vendors and EDA tools and the local cube-dwelling design engineer…and then Bob the Integrator adds this JTAG-like infrastructure… …how does all of this get documented? Where does the documentation come from? How hard is it to make the documentation? Who is going to use the documentation? How do I verify that the documentation is correct?...

An Alternate View – Instructions An alternate view is that there is no specific Hardware Description, but a map of Instructions – this view requires only the scanpaths to be described (since they are variable and not fixed by the Standard) Different Users may get benefit from different representations: Design Verification; ATE Test; Board Test; Yield-Analysis; In-System Test There are two basic types of Instructions in the 1687 architecture: Those that configure and control the Access Mechanism or Architecture Configuration (e.g. ScanPaths, Gateways) – Gateway Registers can be viewed as Distributed Instruction-Registers Those that configure and control the Instrument Interface – the Instrument- Interface Register can be viewed as Data-Registers Note: the Instrument itself is outside of the Standard since it is not specified or standardized by the 1687 Standard

What’s Left to Define? Which Code blocks are optional? Which are required? Is a Gateway Level-0 Block required – if there are only a few instruments, can their Instrument-Interfaces (TDRs) be accessed directly from TAP Instructions? What Keywords are associated with each Code Block? Are blocks defined by Keywords such as Instrument, Interface, Controller, etc.? What are the “legal” groupings of Code Blocks? For example: More than one Controller Block? A Controller Block connected directly to an Instrument Interface with no Gateway Blocks? PDL as a separate file or PDL embedded within the Instrument Block? Mixed Gateway and Instrument-Interface Blocks? Have we defined all of the HW elements (GDR, IIF, Pins, etc.)? Can 1687 concepts be applied above the chip? (Dot-2) Board-Level clock/power domains break daisy-chain connections Test-Scheduling including multiple chips break star connections

Summary-Conclusions Several Companies are already implementing IJTAG Concepts They’ve already run into the “volume of instruments” problem They are beginning to merge DFT, DFD, DFY into Design-for-Access They are already having “efficiency” and “scheduling” problems Some companies are struggling with SIP and 1149.1 inadequacies The concepts presented have been filtered through real designs and tradeoff criteria Separation of 1149.1 and P1687 The Gateway; various budget-based connectivity schemes Instrument Interfaces; parallel data transfers, instrument-coordination Architecture implementation seems complex but is actually very simple The committee work now is focused on Language: Describe the architecture (instrument interfaces, Gateways, TAP) Describe instrument modes or features Generation and Retargeting of vectors We’re not done yet – keep clicking…
