Abstract
The disclosed technology facilitates programmable scan shift testing for a scan chain including at least a first segment of scan-flops connected in series with a second segment of scan-flops. The scan chain includes at least a first multiplexor positioned between the first segment and the second segment that is configured to selectively supply scan input from a test controller to the second segment while preventing the second segment from receiving an output of the first segment.
