Abstract
The Motorola Modular Family (MMF) is currently composed of two
major groups of products; the MC68HC16 family, based on the CPU16 core,
and the MC68HC300 family, based on the CPU32 core. Each product in the
MMF contains a CPU module, a system integration module, which controls
internal to external bus cycles, and one or more of the other modules
available in this family. A new system integration module has been
designed to utilize reduced pin count packages for decreased cost. A
multiplexed test mode allows microcontroller's internal signals to be
driven or to be tested even when the pin, previously used to carry the
data, is not implemented. This test mode allows the minimum pin set to
provide the same controllability and observability as was present during
the original test pattern development, and thus provides the same fault
coverage. The internal bus protocol must be met, and internal timing
must be identical to the one used before. The cost to develop the high
fault grade test patterns was very high, and the time to write the
patterns was very long-up to several years
