Zusammenfassung:A sequential element having a master stage and a slave stage and a method of testing an IC having a scan chain and an IC. In one embodiment, the sequential element includes an input scan multiplexor configured to place the sequential element in a functional mode or a scan mode in response to a scan enable input and a scan out driver coupled to the slave stage and configured to provide a scan out signal when the sequential element is in the scan mode, the scan out driver coupled to an inverted scan enable input for a negative voltage supply.
