• In a real system, each instance of the Virtual JTAG megafunction works independently. In simulation,
multiple instances can work at the same time. For example, if you define a scan shift for Virtual JTAG
instance number 1 to happen at 3 ms and a scan shift for Virtual JTAG instance number 2 to happen at
the same time, the simulation works correctly.
If you are using the ModelSim-Altera simulator, the altera_mf.v and altera_mf.vhd libraries are provided
in precompiled form with the simulator.
The inputs and outputs of the Virtual JTAG megafunction during a typical IR scan shift operation are shown
in the figure below.

The figure below shows the inputs and outputs of the Virtual JTAG megafunction during a typical DR scan
shift operation.
