ABSTRACT:
A test cell and method of operation are disclosed. The test cell may be cascaded with other test cells to form a test structure that spans across any number of slices and/or tiles in a programmable logic device. The test structure behaves like a register, and may be used to test direct interconnects and any number their fan-out lines simultaneously.
