  • Flexible scan architecture
    Publication number: 20070168767
    Abstract: A testing architecture for testing a complex integrated circuit in which each functional unit may be tested independently of the others. Embodiments of the invention allow testing of functional units to take place at slower or faster clock speeds than other portions of the processor without incurring delay or other adverse timing effects.
