A digital storage element (e.g., a flip-flop or a latch) comprise a master transparent latch that receives functional data from a data input port and scan data from a scan input port and a slave transparent latch coupled to the master transparent latch. The slave transparent latch comprises dedicated functional data and scan data output ports. A clock gating element is also included that gates off a clock to the slave latch, and not the master transparent latch, based on an enable signal that is asserted to disable use of the digital storage element.
