ABSTRACT:
A programmable logic device (PLD) that provides the capability to observe and control the logic state of buried internal nodes is disclosed. The PLD provides shadow storage units for internal nodes such as logic element registers, memory cells, and I/O registers. A sample/load data path includes bidirectional data buses and shift register that facilitate the sampling of internal nodes for observing their logic states, and loading of internal nodes for controlling their logic states.
