Abstract

A circuit to analyze or test a first or second logic coupled to an input/output circuit by storing a plurality of signals into a plurality of flip flops. The flip flops store the plurality of signals for a first mode of operation to observe at least one node within the first logic. Also, the flip flops load data values in response to control logic for a second mode of operation to control at least one node within the second logic.
