If the JTAG interface is left unconnected to other JTAG circuitry, the JTD bit should be
set to one. The reason for this is to avoid static current at the TDO pin in the JTAG
interface.

• Bit 4 – JTRF: JTAG Reset Flag

This bit is set if a reset is being caused by a logic one in the JTAG Reset Register
selected by the JTAG instruction AVR_RESET. This bit is reset by a Power-on Reset, or
by writing a logic zero to the flag.

Boundary-scan Chain

The Boundary-scan Chain has the capability of driving and observing the logic levels on
the digital I/O pins, as well as the boundary between digital and analog logic for analog
circuitry having Off-chip connection.

Scanning the Digital Port Pins

Figure 87 shows the Boundary-scan Cell for a bi-directional port pin with pull-up func-
tion. The cell consists of a standard Boundary-scan cell for the Pull-up Enable – PUExn
– function, and a bi-directional pin cell that combines the three signals Output Control –
OCxn, Output Data – ODxn, and Input Data – IDxn, into only a two-stage Shift Register.
The port and pin indexes are not used in the following description

The Boundary-scan logic is not included in the figures in the datasheet. Figure 88 shows
a simple digital Port Pin as described in the section “I/O-Ports” on page 62. The Bound-
ary-scan details from Figure 87 replaces the dashed box in Figure 88.

When no alternate port function is present, the Input Data – ID – corresponds to the
PINxn Register value (but ID has no synchronizer), Output Data corresponds to the
PORT Register, Output Control corresponds to the Data Direction – DD Register, and
the Pull-up Enable – PUExn – corresponds to logic expression PUD · DDxn · PORTxn.

Digital alternate port functions are connected outside the dotted box in Figure 88 to
make the scan chain read the actual pin value. For Analog function, there is a direct
connection from the external pin to the analog circuit, and a scan chain is inserted on
the interface between the digital logic and the analog circuitry.
