Not really, you can do as much boundary scan operations with a device
as there are implemented into it by the silicon vendor. Typically you
can read logic level at pins and drive to a logic level or tristate
them. Sometimes you can do all that with any pin, sometimes not.
but what about analog functionality?
For example, if a 1149.1 compliant microcontrollers has a built-in D/
A, can a ATPG test be written such that the full analog swing of the
pin can be tested? Or is TDI/TDO restricted to logic levels only
and arn't meant for analog testing?
Nothing in the JTAG signals restricts access to some ADC or DAC on
the chip, but I have not seen a chip which does that yet. Which does
not mean there is none, of course; it is most certainly doable over
1149.1.
