BOUNDARY SCAN
OVERVIEW
Boundary scan is a simple, non–intrusive scheme that
allows verification of electrical continuity for each of a
clocked RAMs logically active inputs and I/Os without ad-
versely affecting RAM performance. Boundary scan allows
the user to monitor the logic levels applied to each signal I/O
on the RAM, and to shift them out in a serial bit stream.
OPERATION
Boundary scan requires four signal pins for implementa-
tion: Scan Data In (SDI), Scan Data Out (SDO), Scan Clock
(SCK, active high), and Scan Enable (SE, active high).
Boundary scan provides three modes of operation: (1) nor-
mal RAM operation, (2) scan, and (3) bypass. For normal
RAM operation, SCK and SE must be held low. The RAM will
always return to normal operation immediately after the RAM
receives a rising edge of the RAM input clock (K) with SCK
and SE held low. To enter scan mode, SCK is activated. The
first rising edge of SCK is used to latch in the data on the
scan registers. SE is then driven high to disable additional in-
put data from entering the scan registers. Every falling edge
of SCK serially shifts data through the scan registers and
onto the SDO pin. To enter bypass mode simply exercise
SCK with SE held low. In this mode, SDI is sampled on the
rising edge of SCK. The level found on SDI is then driven out
on SDO on the next falling edge of SCK.
