The IEEE® 1149.1-2001 specification may be ordered for further detail on electrical and pin protocol 
compliance requirements. 
The NPC implements a Nexus controller state machine that transitions based on the state of the IEEE® 
1149.1-2001 state machine shown in Figure 25-5. The Nexus controller state machine is defined by the 
IEEE-ISTO 5001-2003 standard. It is shown in Figure 25-10.
The instructions implemented by the NPC TAP controller are listed in Table 25-14. The value of the 
NEXUS-ENABLE instruction is 0b0000. Each unimplemented instruction acts like the BYPASS 
instruction. The size of the NPC instruction register is 4-bits.
Data is shifted between TDI and TDO starting with the least significant bit as illustrated in Figure 25-8. 
This applies for the instruction register and all Nexus tool-mapped registers.

25.7.2.3.1 Enabling the NPC TAP Controller 
Assertion of the power-on reset signal, entry into censored mode, or negating JCOMP resets the NPC TAP 
controller. When not in power-on reset or censored mode, the NPC TAP controller is enabled by asserting 
JCOMP and loading the ACCESS_AUX_TAP_NPC instruction in the JTAGC. Loading the 
NEXUS-ENABLE instruction then grants access to NPC registers.
