The Scan Ring Linker IP serves to simplify the design complexities involved in dealing with multiple scan chains. Intended for easy embedding in ASICs, FPGAs, or CPLDs, the SRL unifies multiple test paths into a single high-speed JTAG interface. This not only conserves valuable design resources but also ensures that secondary scan paths receive due attention in both testing and configuration processes. By alleviating the need for excessive hardware components and offering a seamless integration path, the SRL optimizes resource allocation and enhances overall design efficiency.
