Summary: | Disclosed is an electronic circuit 10 with latch scan chains 12, the circuit has a built-in test structure 14, generation means 16 that simultaneously generates scan-in data for each of the scan chains, and interception means 18 that intercepts test lines 20 of the scan chains. The test lines having scan-in lines 22 and/or control lines 24. The interception means are responsive to the generation means in order to feed the generated scan-in data into each of the scan chains for initializing the electronic circuit. The test structure may input the scan-in data in parallel into the scan chains. The interception means may intercept the scan-in lines and the control lines, and the generation means may fetch pre-configured data from a memory for feeding into the scan-in lines. Also disclosed is a method of initialising the electronic circuit. |
