An emulation controller (12) connected at a pin boundary of an integrated circuit (14) can be provided with concurrent access to concurrent debug signal activity of first and second data processing cores (core 2, core 1) embedded within the integrated circuit. A first signal path is provided from the first data processing core to a first pin (39) of the integrated circuit, for carrying a selected debug signal of the first data processing core to the first pin. A second signal path is provided from the second data processing core to the first pin of the integrated circuit for carrying a selected debug signal of the second data processing core to the first pin. A third signal path is provided from the second data processing core to a second pin (41) of the integrated circuit for carrying the selected debug signal of the second data processing core to the second pin.

An input circuit arrangement (1) has an input (2), a comparator (30) and an evaluation circuit (50). The input (2) is designed for being coupled to a first connection (101) of an impedance (100) and for supplying an input signal (ES). The comparator (30) is connected to the input (2) of the input circuit arrangement (1) and is designed to output an activation signal (S1) at an output (31) as a function of a comparison of the input signal (ES) with a threshold value (SW1) which can be set. Furthermore, the evaluation circuit (50) is connected to the input (2) of the input circuit arrangement (1) and, in order to activate it, to the output (31) of the comparator (30) and is designed to evaluate the value of the impedance (100) which can be connected.
摘要:
Mode selection circuitry selects one a plurality of plurality of operational modes supported by an integrated circuit by detecting a selected connection between a first terminal of the integrated circuit and a mode control terminal of the integrated circuit. Other including a mode control terminal coupled to an integrated circuit for receiving a mode selection signal and mode select circuitry for selecting an operational mode of the integrated circuit in response to a frequency of the mode control signal.
摘要:
A method of controlling a terminal of an integrated circuit includes determining a frequency ratio between a frequency of a signal and a frequency of another signal received by an integrated circuit. A selected signal appearing at a selected terminal of the integrated circuit is selectively interpreted in accordance with an operating mode when the frequency ratio is below a selected value and in accordance with another operating mode when the frequency of the signal is above a selected value.
摘要:
Connectivity between an emulation controller and a plurality of target devices can be automatically detected. After the target devices (Chipl, ChipN) and the emulation controller (12) tri-state respective terminals thereof, one of the target devices drives a predetermined logic level on each of the aforementioned terminals thereof in sequence, while maintaining the remainder of the aforementioned terminals thereof tri-stated. These driving (33) and maintaining (31) operations are thereafter performed by each of the remaining target devices in sequence. During each driving step, all of the target devices and the emulation controller read logic levels at their aforementioned terminals (34, 43).
摘要:
A scan interface that includes control signals (TRST, TMS, TCK) and data signals (TDI, TDO) normally carried by respective signal paths of the scan interface can be used to carry signals other than signals of the scan interface. A first signal (TMS) and a second signal (TDO) can be time division multiplexed on the signal path that normally carries one of the signals, thereby freeing the signal path that carries the other of the signals to carry a signal other than a signal of the scan interface.
