Circuit and method for diagnosing scan chain failures
Abstract:
A circuit includes a plurality of scan chains arranged in a ring network topology. Each scan chain includes a plurality of scan blocks, each of the plurality of scan blocks including a storage element and a switching device. Each switching device includes a first input configured to receive an output of a storage element in a different scan chain from the scan chain in which the switching device is disposed, and a second input configured to receive one of a function logic signal or a test scan signal. The switching device configured to selectively couple the first input or the second input to an input of the storage element.
