Abstract:
Provided is an integrated circuit that includes a reset electrically connected to a select line of a multiplexer and an OR gate. The multiplexer receives data from a power source. The multiplexer and the OR gate comprise a circuit. A clock is electrically connected to the OR gate. The OR gate is electrically connected to a clock input of a latch. The latch includes the clock input, a scan enable input, a data input, and a data output. A regular logic data path is electrically connected to the multiplexer, and the multiplexer is further electrically connected to the data port of the latch.
