ABSTRACT:
A multiplexed data flip-flop circuit (500) is described in which a multiplexer (510) outputs functional or scan data, a master latch (520) generates a master latch output signal at a hold time under control of a master clock signal, a slave latch (540) generates a flip flop output signal at a launch time under control of a slave clock signal, clock generation circuitry (550) generates a second clock signal that has a DC state during a functional mode and has a switching state during a scan mode, and data propagation logic circuitry (564) uses the first and second clock signals to generate the master and slave clock signals during a scan mode to delay the launch time of the slave latch with respect to the hold time of the master latch.
