Boundary scan is a testing technique that controls and observes pin states by placing shift registers between the internal logic of the IC and each device pin during the IC design process.

Category:

JTAG interface: JTAG stands for Joint Test Action Group. The JTAG interface is an implementation of boundary scan technology, which can not only be used for program download and online debugging, but also for boundary scan testing.

Boundary scan register: Boundary scan register is the core component of boundary scan technology, located next to the input and output pins of the chip, used to control and observe the pin status.

Boundary scan technology has the advantages of convenient fault location and improved testing and inspection efficiency. It is mainly used for boundary scan testing of circuits and online system programming of programmable chips.
