Collaboration Results In First IEEE 1149.7 cJTAG Semiconductor IP Core
The industry’s first synthesizable IP core that implements the upcoming IEEE 1149.7 cJTAG standard, which will be ratified in early 2009, is available from IPextreme. The IEEE 1149.7 standard will provide designers with powerful extensions to the current IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) standard, using fewer pins and maintaining compatibility with IEEE 1149.1-based hardware and software.
