Abstract

A scan test architecture includes first and second serial scan paths for transferring test data to and from an integrated circuit's logic. A first clock controls transfer of information on the first scan path and a second clock controls transfer of data on the second scan path. The first and second clocks are alternately enabled by a control signal initiated under program control of the external test system.
