Abstract

See full text

A fast Mux-D scan flip-flop is provided, which bypasses a scan multiplexer to a master keeper side path, removing delay overhead of a traditional Mux-D scan topology. The design is compatible with simple scan methodology of Mux-D scan, while preserving smaller area and small number of inputs/outputs. Since scan Mux is not in the forward critical path, circuit topology has similar high performance as level-sensitive scan flip-flop and can be easily converted into bare pass-gate version. The new fast Mux-D scan flip-flop combines the advantages of the conventional LSSD and Mux-D scan flip-flop, without the disadvantages of each.
