Abstract

The present disclosure provides system and method embodiments for generation of capture clock signals. A first and second test circuit receive a first test pattern and a functional clock signal. A first test clock control (TCC) circuit of the first test circuit generates a first capture clock signal that comprises a set of functional clock signal pulses generated according to a first clock pattern of the first test pattern. A second TCC circuit of the second test circuit generates a second capture clock signal that comprises the set of functional clock signal pulses generated according to the first clock pattern. The set of functional clock signal pulses of the second capture clock signal are staggered in time from the set of functional clock signal pulses of the first capture clock signal.
