24.4.4.1 BYPASS Instruction
BYPASS selects the bypass register, creating a single-bit shift register path between TDI and TDO. 
BYPASS enhances test efficiency by reducing the overall shift path when no test operation of the MCU is 
required. This allows more rapid movement of test data to and from other components on a board that are 
required to perform test functions. While the BYPASS instruction is active the system logic operates 
normally.
24.4.4.2 ACCESS_AUX_TAP_x Instructions
The ACCESS_AUX_TAP_x instructions allow the Nexus modules on the MCU to take control of the TAP. 
When this instruction is loaded, control of the TAP pins is transferred to the selected auxiliary TAP 
controller. Any data input via TDI and TMS is passed to the selected TAP controller, and any TDO output 
from the selected TAP controller is sent back to the JTAGC to be output on the pins. The JTAGC regains 
control of the JTAG port during the UPDATE-DR state if the PAUSE-DR state was entered. Auxiliary TAP 
controllers are held in RUN-TEST/IDLE while they are inactive.
24.4.4.3 CLAMP Instruction
CLAMP allows the state of signals driven from MCU pins to be determined from the boundary scan 
register while the bypass register is selected as the serial path between TDI and TDO. CLAMP enhances 
test efficiency by reducing the overall shift path to a single bit (the bypass register) while conducting an 
EXTEST type of instruction through the boundary scan register. CLAMP also asserts the internal system 
reset for the MCU to force a predictable internal state.
24.4.4.4 EXTEST — External Test Instruction
EXTEST selects the boundary scan register as the shift path between TDI and TDO. It allows testing of 
off-chip circuitry and board-level interconnections by driving preloaded data contained in the boundary 
scan register onto the system output pins. Typically, the preloaded data is loaded into the boundary scan 
register using the SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction before the selection of EXTEST. EXTEST asserts the 
internal system reset for the MCU to force a predictable internal state while performing external boundary 
scan operations.
