7 offers a means to reduce chip pins dedicated to test (and debug) access while enhancing the functionality of the Test Access Port (TAP) as a complementary superset of the original IEEE Std 1149
1 (JTAG)
Extended features such as hot-plug immunity, power management, optimization of scan throughput, access to instrumentation, and access to custom technologies provide welcome improvements for debug
Further, the boundary-scan architecture is bolstered to ensure full support for t
