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.
