Abstract

Among all the On - Chip built - in self - test (BIST) technologies, JTAG is the most well - known and widely used . In th is paper, the mechanism of basic JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) has been discussed . The pitfalls of the method are also discussed, some of which are rectified in the future standard, IEEE 1149.4 for Mixed Signal testing, which is also described here . Many of the valua ble research papers on the se standards are analyzed .
