Clock control circuitry for an integrated circuit, a method of testing an integrated circuit having a clock gate, an integrated circuit and a library of cells including the clock control circuitry are provided. In one embodiment, the integrated circuit includes: (1) a clock gate configured to apply a clock signal to at least a first scan chain of the integrated circuit, (2) combinational logic coupled to an input of the clock gate and (3) Design-for-Test logic located external to the combinational logic and coupled to the clock gate and a first cell of a second scan chain of the integrated circuit, the Design-for-Test logic configured to control operation of the clock gate based on a logic value of the first cell.
