A scan chain includes a plurality of scan chain blocks coupled together in series and reference circuitry inserted before one of the plurality of scan chain blocks. The reference circuitry, in a scan mode of operation, receives a scan input signal. In a test data capture mode of operation, the reference circuitry receives a known test signal value, and, in a scan out mode of operation, outputs the known test signal value to the one scan chain block of the plurality of scan chain blocks.
