Product Overview
Introduction
The PCIe-1149.1 High-Speed PCI Express Bus boundary-scan controller is a member of the Corelis
ScanExpress™ family of high performance scan-based test, analysis, and diagnostic tools. The
PCIe-1149.1 High-Speed PCI Express (PCIe) Bus Boundary-Scan Controller card, with memorybehind-the-pin architecture, interfaces between a host computer and any IEEE Standard 1149.1
compatible target. The PCIe-1149.1 is designed to control the operation of an IEEE Standard
1149.1 boundary-scan test path by generating the proper signals under software control to interface
with the target system. It also supports remote operation of multiple boundary-scan (JTAG) Test
Access Ports (TAPs) using any of the Corelis ScanTAP family of Multiple TAP Intelligent pods such
as the ScanTAP-4, ScanTAP-8 or ScanTAP-32. The PCIe-1149.1 is shown in Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1. The Corelis PCIe-1149.1 Boundary-Scan Controller
The most popular Intelligent Pod is the ScanTAP-4. It connected to the PCIe-1149.1 card via a
standard SCSI-II cable and it provides up to 4 independent TAP connectors with a programmable
low-voltage-compatible interface. Each of the 4 TAP connectors contains direct access to JTAG,
I2C and SPI interfaces. It also supports simultaneous programming and verification of Flash
memory devices at continuous scan clock (TCK) speeds of up to 80 MHz. The ScanTAP pods
include direct hardware compare of expected scan results and are therefore especially suitable for
gang (parallel) testing and programming of units under test (UUTs).
Product Overview 1-1
The PCIe-1149.1 facilitates software-controlled boundary-scan operations per IEEE Standard
1149.1. It provides command access to the target’s Test Access Port (TAP), to verify PCB
interconnects, perform functional testing, and debug without manual probing. Furthermore, the
JTAG interface gives access to internal device functions that are not accessible via external probing,
enabling fault isolation within the device itself. The JTAG interface also enables programming
target Flash and CPLD devices, as well as downloading and uploading of data blocks to and from
various storage devices. Application software for the PCIe-1149.1 is sold separately.
What Is IEEE Standard 1149.1?
The IEEE Standard 1149.1 test bus and boundary-scan architecture enable control of an IC, board,
or system, via a standard four-signal interface. Each IEEE Standard 1149.1-compliant IC
incorporates a feature known as boundary-scan, which ensures that a JTAG controller can control
and observe each functional pin of the IC via the four-wire interface. A controller can load test,
debug, or initialization patterns serially into the appropriate IC(s) via the IEEE Standard 1149.1 test
bus. Thus, even with limited physical access, a user can observe or control IC, board, or system
functions.
Two main elements comprise the IEEE Standard 1149.1 test bus: a Test Access Port (TAP), which
interfaces internal IC logic with the external world via a four-signal (optionally five-signal) bus as
shown in Figure 1-2, and a boundary-scan architecture, which defines standard boundary cells that
drive and receive data at the IC pins. IEEE Standard 1149.1 also defines both mandatory and
optional opcodes and test features. The test bus signals are: Test Clock (TCK), Test Mode Select
(TMS), Test Data In (TDI), Test Data Out (TDO), and the optional Test Logic Reset (TRST).
The IEEE-1149.1 Test Access Port
Interface (TAP) consists of four
required signals:
Test Mode Select (TMS)
Test Clock (TCK)
Test Data In (TDI)
Test Data Out (TDO)
A fifth signal is defined as optional:

1-2 Product Overview
Features of the PCIe-1149.1
The Corelis PCIe-1149.1 is a high performance JTAG controller that can access devices, boards or
systems compliant with IEEE Standard 1149.1. This PCI Express bus compatible card directly
supports one JTAG boundary-scan chain (TAP), expandable to additional TAPs using ScanTAP
intelligent pods. Two general purpose 8-bit parallel I/O ports are also provided for test and/or
control of non-boundary-scan areas of the unit under test (UUT). With its software-controlled
voltage translating logic, the PCIe-1149.1 can test low voltage systems. The SCSII type connector
includes high high-speed differential signals for reliable interfacing to external ScanTAP pods and it
supports high speed gang (parallel) testing and programming of multiple UUTs.
The PCIe-1149.1 contains several performance enhancing functional sections aimed at increasing
test vector throughput. A functional block diagram of the PCIe-1149.1 is shown in Figure 1-3. Key
functional elements include the TAP controller, and the memory resources that support it. The onboard memory provides scan data storage and can store the entire scan data for maximum
performance, real-time scan operations.
A test system accesses the TAP controller and its associated memory through the host PCI Express
bus memory-mapped I/O. This supports the high data rate of the PCI Express bus, regardless of
actual test clock speeds. The ability to download information into these memory elements further
decouples the scan operations from the host software. A state machine that contains status and
control registers accessible through the PCI Express bus controls all functions of the PCIe-1149.1.

Registers
The PCIe-1149.1 TAP controller contains special autonomous hardware accelerator mechanisms to
greatly increase performance where scan patterns repeat numerous times. This applies to target
download/upload sequences conveying large data blocks. As a result, time consuming tasks such as
Product Overview 1-3
flash programming and emulator data transfers are more efficient for a given clock rate. This
mechanism off-loads the host interaction requirements by generating repeated vectors internally,
using host pre-loaded memory information. After host initialization, this mode of operation results
in continuous and maximal scanning rates at all clock frequencies. The only exception occurs when
the target paces the sequence by indicating a non-ready completion of data transfer, requiring a rescan of the target’s status. When not in this special mode, the scan stream bursts at the programmed
TCK rate, as paced by the flow of vector bits from the host.
Another performance enhancement provides hardware expected-value verification of scanned-back
data at programmable chain positions. Thus, the target output stream is evaluated without host
intervention and accompanying process delays. This further supports the above autonomous
operation enabling the scanning sequence to loop and rescan until the desired feedback is supplied,
also without host intervention.
A programmable, time delay skew compensation mechanism supports the PCIe-1149.1’s high clock
rates. This accommodates the returned target scan stream delays due to signal travel time down and
up the cables. It can also adjust for a target’s on-board TCK-to-TDO response delay.
An auxiliary feature of the PCIe-1149.1 is the target power-shorted detector for two voltages sense
target interface pins. With the target un-powered, this mechanism effectively measures the
impedance of the target load for each of two possible connected voltages, determining if a short
exists (some unacceptably low impedance). If this impedance is less than about 1 ohm (about an 11
watt target or greater at 3.3V, for example), it is deemed shorted.
Adjustable Voltage Interfaces
The software-programmable voltage level of the parallel I/O and TAP interfaces can be set to any
voltage between 1.25 V and 3.30 V in increments of 0.05V minimum.
Parallel Input/Output Ports
The PCIe-1149.1 contains 16 parallel inputs and 16 parallel outputs. The board groups these digital
I/O into two 8-bit parallel input ports, and two 8-bit parallel output ports: Port A and Port B. The
host computer can access the output ports via the Corelis ScanPlus Runner software. The input
ports are for future use and are not currently available to the user.
The output ports are useful for providing discrete signals that control functions on the user target
system such as reset, power control, and disable/enable signals for operating non-boundary-scan
devices on target boards that include some non IEEE-1149.1 compliant components.
PCI Express Interface
The PCIe-1149.1 is a single lane (x1)
(x1, x4, x8, x16).
It is mapped to 132 MB of memory space of the host system as established during
system initialization.

Programmable Clocks
The PCIe-1149.1’s programmable TCK outputs to the IEEE Standard 1149.1 compatible target
system can generate a wide range of TCK frequencies with onboard TCK generation circuitry. A
programmable Phase Locked Loop (PLL) and counter dividers provide both a wide range and fine
selection resolution. See Table 1-1 for the set of programmable values.

Features of the ScanTAP-4
The Corelis ScanTAP-4 Multiple TAP Intelligent pod connects to the PCIe-1149.1 boundary-scan
controller via the 68-pin SCSI II type HOST connector. No external power supply is required—the
PCIe-1149.1 card supplies it. Differential signal driving supports cables of up to 30 feet. Automatic
delay mechanisms compensate for transport delays through the cable. The four TAPs are
individually configurable for interface voltages from 1.25 to 3.3 V. On-board voltage translation
logic allows a host to chain these TAPs together, or to configure them for gang programming.
During gang programming each TAP drives the same data out to up to four targets, and
simultaneously programs and verifies them. Optional Slow Slew rate (Voltages limited to 1.8 V to
3.3 V for slow slew) is provided. Each TAP can detect power shorts to ground for up to 2 voltages
per TAP (with user-provided test software), allowing the ScanTAP-4 to detect potentially damaging
conditions before the target system(s) is powered up.
Refer to Chapter 4 for further explanation on how to configure the ScanTAP-4 when using
ScanPlus Runner or ScanExpress Runner software tools.

PCIe-1149.1 Installation 2-1
Software Installation First!
The installation procedure requires the use of software that contains the driver for the PCIe-1149.1
card. Obtain the ScanPlus CD-ROM (or any other Corelis application that supports the PCIe-
1149.1 card) in order to proceed with installation. Install the ScanPlus Application Software before installing the PCIe-1149.1 controller. The PCIe-1149.1 controller is a plug-and-play device,
and its drivers are installed with the ScanPlus Application Software. Windows will automatically
recognize and configure the PCIe-1149.1 the first time it is detected in your system.
WARNING !
You MUST install the software first – before installing the card. Do not install the PCIe-1149.1
card until you have successfully installed the application software (ScanPlus, CodeRunner,
etc.). Installing the software provides the plug-and-play driver for the card so that the operating
system is able to properly detect and configure the card. Installing the card before the software
may result in improper card configuration and operation.
2-2 PCIe-1149.1 Installation
Hardware Installation
Again, make sure to install the ScanPlus Application Software before installing the PCIe-
1149.1 controller. The PCIe-1149.1 controller is a plug-and-play device, and its drivers are installed
with the ScanPlus Application Software. Windows will automatically recognize and configure the
PCIe-1149.1 the first time it is detected in your system.
To install the PCIe-1149.1 on a PC:
Update the PC BIOS and chipset drivers to the latest version from the manufacturer
Install ScanPlus Applications from the CD, and shut down the PC.
Remove the PCIe-1149.1 from its package.
Disconnect the PC power cord from the power source and then remove the enclosure
cover from the PC.
Plug the PCIe-1149.1 board into the PC in an available full height PCI Express slot.
Use a screw to firmly attach the PCIe-1149.1 card bracket to the PC chassis.
Close the PC enclosure, apply power and verify that the PC boots up correctly.
Preserve the original packing material for future shipment or storage of the PCIe-1149.1.
In the event that you installed the PCIe-1149.1 controller before installing the software, cancel the
Add/Remove Hardware Wizard and install the ScanPlus Applications from the CD. The next
time you start the PC, Windows will automatically recognize and configure the PCIe-1149.1.
Once the PCIe-1149.1 is installed in the PC, connect the ScanTAP-4 to the PCIe-1149.1 card using
the 68-pin SCSI type host cable:
Power down (shutdown) the PC
Plug the 68-pin host cable to the mating connector on the PCIe-1149.1 (that should not
protrude from the back of your PC enclosure).
Plug the other side of the 68-pin host cable to the HOST connector of the ScanTAP-4
box.
Apply power and verify that the PC boots up correctly. The “ON” LED should be
constantly illuminated when the PC is powered up.
