ABSTRACT:
A reconfigurable digital register that can be serially loaded has an additional bit associated with the register which holds information indicative of a mode of operation of the register. The mode control bit is located such that it can be serially loaded along with the other bits. A particularly useful embodiment is to use the mode control bit to configure the register as either a test pattern generator or a signature analysis register in support of integrated circuit self-test functions.
