  • Data Gating Using Scan Enable Pin
    Publication number: 20230194606
    Abstract: An Integrated Circuit (IC) includes a storage element and control circuitry. The control circuitry is configured to select, responsively to a scan-enable control, between a functional-data input and a scan-data input to serve as an input to the storage element, to selectively disable toggling of an output of the storage element, responsively to a clock-enable control, by gating a clock signal provided to the storage element, and, while the clock-enable control indicates that the output of the storage element is to be disabled from toggling, to select the input of the storage element to be the scan-data input.
    Type: Application
