Abstract:
A scan flip-flop circuit comprises a scan input sub-circuit and a selection sub-circuit. The scan input sub-circuit is configured to receive a scan input signal and a scan enable signal and, when the scan enable signal is activated, generate complementary scan input signals representing the scan input signal that are delayed relative to a transition of a clock input signal between two different logic levels. The selection sub-circuit is coupled to the scan input sub-circuit and configured to receive the complementary scan input signals and, based on the scan enable signal, output an inverted version of either the scan input signal or a data signal as a first selected input signal.
