Abstract
A full-scan latch is provided that may be used to incorporate design for test functionality in an integrated circuit. The full-scan latch includes a shadow latch, a multiplexer, and a slave latch. The full-scan latch has a test mode and a normal mode. When in the normal mode, the device operates as a transparent latch, passing a data input to its output. When in test mode, the device is operable to pass scan data down a scan chain and to inject scan data into the data path.
