IEEE Std 1149.1-1990 IEEE Standard Test Access Port and Boundary-Scan
Architecture -Description
Abstract: Circuitry that
may be built into an integrated circuit to assist in the test, maintenance,
and support of assembled printed circuit boards is defined. The
circuitry includes a standard interface through which instructions
and test data are communicated. A set of test features is defined,
including a boundary-scan register, such that the component is able
to respond to a minimum set of instructions designed to assist with testing
of assembled printed circuit boards.
