    摘要: A register file module comprising at least one register array comprising a plurality of latch devices is described. The plurality of latch devices is arranged to individually provide memory bit-cells when the register file module is configured to operate in a first, functional operating mode, and at least one clock control component is arranged to receive a clock signal and to propagate the clock signal to the latch devices within the at least one register array. The register file module is configurable to operate in a second, scan mode in which the latch devices within the at least one register array are arranged into at least one scan chain. The at least one clock control component is arranged to propagate the clock signal to the latch devices within the at least one register array such that alternate latch devices within the at least one scan chain receive an inverted form of the clock signal.
