  • Patent number: 11073552
    Abstract: Various examples of a circuit and a technique for testing the circuit are disclosed herein. In an example, the circuit includes a data input coupled to a scan multiplexer and a path select multiplexer. The circuit further includes a scan-in input coupled to the scan multiplexer and to receive a value of a scan pattern. The circuit further includes a scan latch to store the value that has an input coupled to the scan multiplexer and an output coupled to the path select multiplexer. The scan multiplexer selects a first signal from the data input and the scan-in input and provides the first signal to the input of the scan latch. The path select multiplexer selects a second signal from the data input and the output of the scan latch and provides the second signal to a data output of the circuit.
