Abstract

See full text

A scannable integrated circuit (100) including a functional integrated circuit (P1, P2) having scan chains, multiple scan decompressors (120.1, 120.2), each operable to supply scan bits to some of the scan chains (101.k, 102.k), a shared scan-programmable control circuit (110, 300), a tree circuit (400) coupled with the functional integrated circuit (P1, P2), the shared scan-programmable control circuit (110, 300) coupled to control the tree circuit (400), and a selective coupling circuit (180) operable to provide selective coupling with the shared scan-programmable control circuit (110, 300) for scan programming through any of the multiple scan decompressors (120.1, 120.2). Other circuits, devices, systems, and processes of operation and manufacture are disclosed.
