Summary:The first part of this paper describes the control of CAS-BUS, a
P1500 compatible Test Access Mechanism (TAM). Boundary scan features are
used to allow controlling of the TAM and the P1500 wrappers. The final
architecture characteristics are its flexibility, scalability and
reconfigurability. It also allows trade-off to optimize test time and
area overhead. The second part deals with a test pin expansion method in
order to solve the bandwidth problem. The solution we propose is based
on a new compression/decompression mechanism which avoid TAM
performances degradation
