    Abstract: A circuit including a logic gate responsive to a clock signal and to a control signal. The circuit also includes a master stage of a flip-flop. The circuit further includes a slave stage of the flip-flop responsive to the master stage. The circuit further includes an inverter responsive to the logic gate and configured to output a delayed version of the clock signal. An output of the logic gate and the delayed version of the clock signal are provided to the master stage and to the slave stage of the flip-flop. The master stage is responsive to the control signal to control the slave stage.

    Abstract: Techniques for reducing scan overhead in a scannable flop tray are described herein. In one embodiment, a scan circuit for a flop tray comprises a tri-state circuit configured to invert an input data signal and output the inverted data signal to an input of a flip-flop of the flop tray in a normal mode, and to block the data signal from the input of the flip-flop in a scan mode. The scan circuit also comprises a pass gate configured to pass a scan signal to the input of the flip-flop in the scan mode, and to block the scan signal from the input of the flip-flop in the normal mode.
