JTAG Interface Surge ESD Protection Scheme

JTAG Interface Surge ESD Protection Scheme

The JTAG interface is a type of interface used for downloading programs, and it is also frequently connected and disconnected while powered. It is well-known that hot-plugging can inevitably generate some surges or ESD (Electrostatic Discharge). Therefore, if protective measures are not taken, it is easy for surge ESD to break down the JTAG-related pins, … Read more

Fundamentals of ARM JTAG Interface

Fundamentals of ARM JTAG Interface

1. Basic Knowledge of JTAG     JTAG stands for Joint Test Action Group and is the IEEE 1149.1 standard. The advantage of using JTAG is that it allows integrated circuits to be tested on a PCB through boundary scan. In the ARM7TDMI processor, JTAG can directly control ARM’s internal bus, I/O ports, and other information for … Read more
