A circuit arrangement for use in an integrated circuit having a built-in self test design, the circuit arrangement comprising first and second gates (8, 3) coupled to a flip-flop (2) via a third gate (4). The present invention provides a multiplexer (M) coupled to one input of the first gate (8), the multiplexer (M) being controllable by a control signal to feed either input data or output data of the circuit arrangement to said one input of the first gate (8) and a fourth gate (13) coupled to an input of the second gate (3), the fourth gate (13) having an input connected to receive a signal dependent on the control signal to the data selector means (M).

According to the invention, the LSI testing methods allow the states of combinational logic networks to be captured in either a group of master latches (390) or slave latches (400) of shift registers used for performing scan-in scan-out operations on test data (test patterns, result patterns), but not both. If on a particular test the states are captured in the master latches, then each master latch state is subsequently shifted to the corresponding slave latch by the application of a shift clock, as known from the art. If instead the states are captured in the slave latches the slave latches can be immediately shifted out for inspection.

According to an embodiment, a digital circuit (400) includes an OR gate (402) and a flip-flop (406). The OR gate (402) includes a first input and a second input. The first input of the OR gate is coupled to a control signal (CTRL), and the second input of the OR gate is coupled to an uncovered functional combination logic of the digital circuit (400). The first input of the OR gate (402) is configured to be pulled low by the control signal (CTRL) in response to setting the digital circuit (400) in a configuration to test the uncovered functional combination logic. The flip-flop (406) includes a reset pin (R) or a set pin (S) coupled to the output of the OR gate (402). The output of the flip-flop (406) is configured to be observed during a testing of the uncovered functional combination logic to detect defects in the digital circuit (400).

A method for performing scan testing using a scan chain having a plurality of storage elements is described. During a capture phase, each storage element of the scan chain stores data from a first data input of the storage element synchronously to a clock signal. And during a shift phase, a scan pattern is shifted into the scan chain in which each storage element stores data from a second data input of the storage element asynchronously with the clock signal.

The invention relates to a device for testing and monitoring digital circuits in order to detect delay errors affecting a signal D received directly at the input of a toggle called primary sampling member (100, 200), providing a first value D 1 of the signal D and receiving a first clock signal (105a), said device comprising at least: a scan logic module (120) having a first input for receiving the signal "D", a second input for receiving a signal "scan in", and a third input for receiving a signal "scan enable" (103) suitable for selecting the operation mode of the test device in a scan or functional mode, an output (120s) connected to a secondary sampling member (110) providing a second sampled signal D 2 of the signal D after passing through the scan logic module and receiving a second clock signal (105b), and a comparison module (150) for comparing the signal D 1 and the signal D 2 and generating an alert or error signal.
