14.4 Implementation-Specific Details
This section describes details of JTAG boundary-scan operation that are
specific to the processor.
• The MasterClock, MasterOut, SyncIn, and SyncOut signal
pads do not support JTAG.
• The following pairs of output pads share a single JTAG bit:
SCAddr0W and SCAddr0X
SCAddr0Y and SCAddr0Z
SCWrW* and SCWrX*
SCWrY* and SCWrZ*
TClock(0) and TClock(1)
RClock(0) and RClock(1)
• All input pads data are first latched into a processor clock-based
register in the pad cell before they are captured into the
Boundary-scan register in the Capture-DR (Boundary-scan)
state. When the phase-locked loop is disabled, the processor
clock is half the frequency of MasterClock. Therefore, when the
TAP controller is in the Capture-DR (Boundary-scan) state, the
data setup required at the input pads is more than two
MasterClock periods before the rising edge of the JTCK.
• The output enable controls generated from the three most-
significant bits of the Boundary-scan register are latched into a
Processor Clock-based register before they actually enable the
data onto the pads. Therefore, the delay from the rising edge
of JTCK in the Update-DR (Boundary-scan) state to data valid
at the output pins of the chip is greater than two MasterClock
periods.
