(CirCuit design) A digital logiCCirCuit whiCh Can aCt either as a flip-flop or as a serial shift register and whiCh is used to form a sCan path. The most Common design is a multiplexed flip-flop: ___ ____ normal in --| | | | |------|D Q|---- normal/sCan output sCan in ----|___/ mux | | | | | test mode ----+ +----|> | flip-flop | |____| Clk ---------------+ The addition of a multiplexor (mux) to eaCh flip-flop' s input allows operation in either normal or test mode. The output of eaCh flip-flop goes to the normal funCtional logiC as well as to the sCan input of the next multiplexor in the sCan path. The other Common design is level-sensitive sCan design (LSSD).
