  • Domino logic compatible scannable flip-flop
    Patent number: 7301372
    Abstract: A testable, prechargeable circuit has a driving circuit for producing a driving circuit output signal. A timing circuit receives a clock signal and the driving circuit output signal to cause an output of the testable, prechargeable circuit to be in a low state when the clock signal is low. The timing circuit also causes the output of the circuit to be timed with a state change in the clock signal to provide a domino logic output signal. Either a data signal or a test signal are multiplexed to the input of the driving circuit to produce respectively the domino logic output signal or a test output signal. A static logic circuit receives the test output signal to produce a test signal output.
    Type: Grant
