    Abstract: An LSI integrated semiconductor circuit system comprised of a plurality of interconnected minimum replaceable units. The system and each minimum replaceable unit fully conforms to the Level Sensitive Scan Design (LSSD) Rules. [Level Sensitive Scan Design Rules are fully disclosed and defined in each of the following U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,783,254, 3,761,695, 3,784,907 and in the publication "A Logic Design Structure For LSI Testability" by E. B. Eichelberger and T. W. Williams, 14th Design Automation Conference Proceedings, IEEE Computer Society, June 20-22, 1977, pages 462-467, New Orleans, La.]. Each of the minimum replaceable units includes a shift register segment having more than two shift register stages. Each register stage of each shift register segment of each minimum replaceable unit includes a master flip-flop (latch) and a slave flip-flop (latch). Connection means is provided for connecting the shift register segments of said minimum replaceable units into a single shift register. Additional controllable circuit means including test combinational circuit means is provided for setting a predetermined pattern in only said first two stages of each shift register segment of said minimum replaceable units. The additional circuit means facilitates and is utilized in testing the circuit integrity (stuck faults and continuity) of each minimum replaceable unit.

    Abstract: An electrical circuit is described for generating clock pulses for a multi-chip computersystem which contains a clock generation chip and various logic circuit chips. The clock pulses used on the logic circuit chips are generated on the clock generation chip and are transferred to the logic circuit chips. For the generation of the clock pulses a so-called clocksplitter circuit is provided on the clock generation circuit. This clocksplitter generates two pulse strings out of a third pulse string which is derived from an oscillator. The clocksplitter contains a number of gates and latches which have an impact on the throughput time of a pulse to run through the clocksplitter, as well as on the skew of the two generated pulse strings. The invention provides an electrical circuit which has an improved throughput time and skew of the generated pulse strings.
