2.3.1.4 JTAG/Probe Pins

The following table lists the JTAG/Probe pins.

NameTypeDescription
PRA/B/C/DProbe A, B, C, and D

The Probe pins are used to output data from any user-defined design node within the device (controlled with Silicon Explorer II). These independent diagnostic pins can be used to allow real-time diagnostic output of any signal path within the device. The pins’ probe capabilities can be permanently disabled to protect programmed design confidentiality. The probe pins are of LVTTL output levels.

TCKTest clockTest clock input for JTAG boundary-scan testing and diagnostic probe (Silicon Explorer II).
TDITest data input

Serial input for JTAG boundary-scan testing and diagnostic probe. TDI is equipped with an internal 10 kΩ pull-up resistor.

TDOTest data outputSerial output for JTAG boundary-scan testing.
TMSTest mode select

The TMS pin controls the use of the IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan pins (TCK, TDI, TDO, and TRST). TMS is equipped with an internal 10 kΩ pull-up resistor.

TRSTBoundary scan reset pin

The TRST pin functions as an active-low input to asynchronously initialize or reset the boundary scan circuit. The TRST pin is equipped with a 10 kΩ pull-up resistor.
