ABSTRACT:
A boundary-scan circuit for a system clock input pin of an integrated circuit which prevents the transmission of undesirable pulses into the clock inputs of the core logic circuits during switching to or from the test clock. This is accomplished by synchronizing the signal that controls the switching from or to the system clock to provide such switching during the inactive portion of the system clock cycle. The boundary-scan circuit uses plural switching elements to provide sufficient current drive to prevent degradation of a rise time of any clock pulse transmitted thereby without the use of additional current buffers.
