List of Registers

The group disable number column in TBD shows which group disable bit controls the corresponding output driver. Group disable bits do not affect input-only pins, so those pins have a blank rather than a group number in that column. The group disable control can control pins on either side of where the group disable boundary-scan register cell is placed. The group disable boundary-scan register cells have a boundary-scan register order number entry, but do not have either a corresponding pin number or signal name.

Data shifts from tdi into the most significant bit of the boundary-scan register out to tdo.
