15.2.4 BYPASS Instruction
This instruction is the only instruction defined by the standard that causes operation of the bypass
register. The bypass register contains a single-shift register stage and is used to provide a minimum
length serial path between the TDI and TDO pins of a component when no test operation of that
component is required. This allows more rapid movement of test data to and from other components on
a board that are required to perform test operations.
