(circuit deSign) A digital logic circuit 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 iSlevel-SenSitive Scan deSign (LSSD).
