9.14.3 Instruction register
Purpose Changes the current TAP instruction.
Length 4 bits.
Operating mode In the SHIFT-IR state, the instruction register is selected as the
serial path between DBGTDI, and DBGTDO.
During the CAPTURE-IR state, the binary value 0001 is loaded
into this register. This value is shifted out during SHIFT-IR (least
significant bit first), while a new instruction is shifted in (least
significant bit first).
During the UPDATE-IR state, the value in the instruction register
becomes the current instruction.
On reset, IDCODE becomes the current instruction.
There is no parity bit.
9.14.4 Scan path select register
Purpose Changes the current active scan chain.
Length 4 bits.
Operating mode SCAN_N as the current instruction in the SHIFT-DR state selects
the scan path select register as the serial path between DBGTDI,
and DBGTDO.
During the CAPTURE-DR state, the value b1000 binary is loaded
into this register. This value is loaded out during SHIFT -DR (least
significant bit first), while a new value is loaded in (least
significant bit first). During the UPDATE-DR state, the value in
the register selects a scan chain to become the currently active scan
chain. All additional instructions, such as INTEST, then apply to
that scan chain.
The currently-selected scan chain changes only when a SCAN_N
instruction is executed, or when a reset occurs. On reset, scan chain
0 is selected as the active scan chain.
Table 9-5 shows the scan chain number allocation.
