2.1. JTAG Circuitry Functional Model

The JTAG BST circuitry requires the following registers:

  • Instruction register—determines which action to perform and which data register to access.
  • Bypass register (1-bit long data register)—provides a minimum-length serial path between the TDI and TDO pins.
  • Boundary-scan register—shift register composed of all the BSCs of the device.

  • Test access port (TAP) controller—controls the JTAG BST.
  • TMS and TCK pins—operate the TAP controller.
  • TDI and TDO pins—provide the serial path for the data and instruction registers.
Note: The TRST pin is not available in Intel Agilex® 7 devices.
