Abstract: A validation circuit is placed in vicinity of a critical path for testing the critical path. The validation circuit receives test data from the control circuit for testing the critical path. The test data is indicative of a delay value that is associated with the critical path. The validation circuit generates multiple setup signals and an enable signal to facilitate the testing of the critical path based on the test data. The validation circuit generates a first test signal based on the enable signal, and a second test signal based on the first test signal and the setup signals. The second test signal is a delayed version of the first test signal. The validation circuit compares the first test signal and the second test signal. A mismatch between the first test signal and the second test signal indicates deviation from the delay value.
