IEEE 1149.6-2003

This project will define an extension to IEEE Std. 1149.1-2001 to standardize the boundary scan structures and methods required to ensure simple, robust, and minimally intrusive boundary scan testing of advanced digital networks not adequately addressed by existing standards, especially those networks that are AC-coupled, differential, or both, in parallel with IEEE Std. 1149.1 testing of conventional digital networks and in conjunction with IEEE Std. 1149.4 testing of conventional analog networks. This project will be complementary to IEEE 1149.4, specifically targeting parallel testing of advanced digital networks while IEEE1149.4 focuses on serial testing of more traditional analog networks. This project will also specify any software or BSDL extensions to IEEE Std. 1149.1-2001 which are required to support this new I/O test structure.
