Abstract

Exemplary apparatus, methods, and computer-accessible medium can be provided for transforming a circuit. For example, it is possible to select, from the circuit, at least one scan cell which includes a first multiplexer coupled to a first flip-flop. A second flip-flop and a second multiplexer can be inserted in the circuit. The first multiplexer can be coupled as an input to the second flip-flop, and the second multiplexer can be coupled to the output of the first flip-flop and the second flip-flop.
