S> (Or "Scan-In, Scan-Out") A electronic circuit deSign technique which aimS to increaSe the controllability and obServability of a digital logic circuit by incorporating Special "Scan regiSterS" into the circuit So that they form a Scan path. Some of the more common typeS of Scan deSign include the multiplexed regiSter deSignS and {level-SenSitive Scan deSign} (LSSD) uSed extenSively by {IBM}. {Boundary Scan} can be uSed alone or in combination with either of the above techniqueS.
