Abstract:
An IO structure, method, and apparatus are disclosed for using an IEEE™ 1149.1 boundary scan latch to reroute a functional path. The method for a chip using IEEE™ 1149.1 boundary scan latches may include using the IEEE™ 1149.1 boundary scan latches for testing IO on the chip in a test mode. The method may also include using information stored in the IEEE™ 1149.1 boundary scan latches to route signals around a failing path in a functional mode.
