•

During SHIFT-DR, a data value is shifted into the serial register. Bits 32 to 36 
specify the address of the EmbeddedICE-RT logic register to be accessed.

•

During UPDATE-DR, this register is either read or written depending on the state 
of bit [37], as follows:

Bit [37] set 

Register is written.

Bit [37] cleared 

Register is read.

Scan chain 3

Purpose 

Enables the ARM7TDMI core to control an external boundary-scan 
chain.

Length 

User defined.

Scan chain 3 control signals are provided so that an optional external boundary-scan 
chain can be controlled through the ARM7TDMI core. Typically, this is used for a scan 
chain around the pad ring of a packaged device.

The following control signals are provided which are generated only when scan chain 
3 has been selected. These outputs are inactive at all other times:

DRIVEBS 

This is used to switch the scan cells from system mode to test mode. This 
signal is asserted whenever either the INTEST, EXTEST, CLAMP, or 
CLAMPZ instruction is selected.

PCLKBS 

This is an update clock, generated in the UPDATE-DR state. Typically 
the value scanned into a chain is transferred to the cell output on the rising 
edge of this signal.

ICAPCLKBS, ECAPCLKBS 

These are capture clocks used to sample data into the scan cells during 
INTEST and EXTEST respectively. These clocks are generated in the 
CAPTURE-DR state.

SHCLKBS, SHCLK2BS 

These are non-overlapping clocks generated in the SHIFT-DR state used 
to clock the master and slave element of the scan cells respectively. When 
the state machine is not in the SHIFT-DR state, both these clocks are 
LOW.
