Abstract

A method and apparatus for using a test signal being computed by applying a combinational test pattern generation tool to a model of the apparatus in which at least one of an at least one sequential device is modelled as a non-sequential device, the apparatus having a first scan cell configured to receive the test signal and drive a first signal in response to a first clock phase; a sequential logic block having the at least one sequential device, the sequential logic block being configured to generate a second signal, at least one of the at least one sequential device being a non-scan cell.
