A scan test circuitry design imbedded on an SoC having the scan
architecture of a VLCT platform is disclosed herein. This BIST circuitry
design that is not limited in the number of scan test ports supported
includes at least one scan chain group having a corresponding clock
domain that couples to receive test stimulus data. Each scan chain group
has a corresponding test mode signal to shift the test stimulus data at a
shift clock rate derived from its corresponding clock domain. A
controlling demultiplexer connects to each multiplexer unit within each
scan chain group to provide control signals for shifting in the test
stimulus. A clock control mechanism provides a control signal for each
scan chain to shift test stimulus and capture resultant data.
Furthermore, when a simultaneous test mode signal is enabled, the clock
control mechanism couples to each scan chain to enable simultaneous
capture of each scan chain group.
