WAVE-PIPELINED LOGIC CIRCUIT SCANNING SYSTEM

One example embodiment includes a circuit system. The system includes a wave-pipelined combinational logic circuit comprising at least one logic gate between an input node and at least one output node and configured to perform logic operations on a data sequence received at the input node. The system also includes a scan path connected to the input node and comprising at least one delay element configured to propagate the data sequence from the input to a scan path output to capture values of the data sequence provided to the wave-pipelined combinational logic circuit as a serial data stream. The system also includes a scan point device configured to deliver one of input data and scan data as the data sequence to the wave-pipelined combinational logic circuit and to the scan path via the input node in a respective one of a normal operating mode and a scan mode.
