Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to circuit boundary scan, in particular to a variable chain length dynamic boundary scan structure and method based on switch matrix control. Background technique
[0002] Boundary scan technology is widely used in many fields such as computer, communication and aerospace because of its high flexibility and good integration. Boundary scan enables many system functions such as online "health" monitoring, information gathering, fault detection, fault injection (for failover testing or redundancy testing), and diagnostics. As far as health management and information collection are concerned, the real-time or dynamic requirements for chips or systems are high, which requires boundary scan to have better adaptability to this.
[0003] However, at present, the internal boundary scan structure of most design circuits is determined, and both the order of the boundary scan cells and the length of the boundary scan chain are fixed. Such a...
