6.3. Test Pins

For correct test operation, you must instantiate the dedicated test ports of the VFP9-S coprocessor as shown in Table 6.1.

Some of the signals are static and some are dynamic. During a VFP9-S scan pattern, a dynamic input signal must get from the chip port to the first flip-flop of a VFP9-S scan chain within one test pattern cycle, depending on the setup-to-clock timing in the pattern timeset. A dynamic output signal must get from the last flip-flop to the port within one test cycle, depending on the timing of the output valid strobe.
