Abstract:
An integrated circuit comprises scan test circuitry and additional circuitry subject to testing utilizing the scan test circuitry. The scan test circuitry comprises scan cells configured to form scan chains. At least a given one of the scan cells is a multiple scan input scan cell having at least first and second scan inputs. In a first scan shift mode of operation, the given scan cell is configured with a first plurality of other scan cells into a scan chain of a first type using the first scan input. In a second scan shift mode of operation, the given scan cell is configured with a second plurality of other scan cells different than the first plurality of other scan cells into a scan chain of a second type using the second scan input.
