Abstract
This paper describes work regarding improvements in boundary scan cell design. The results of this work provide an innovative way to implement boundary scan cells (BSCs) on IC input, output, and input/output (I/O) pins. The new cell designs provide; (1) reduced cell size, (2) reduced signalling delay, (3) support for IDDQ testing, (4) protection of output buffers in the presence of shorts, and (5) a method of safely testing newly assembled boards
