Abstract:
A test circuit is operable in ATPG mode and LBIST mode. The test circuit includes a clock selection circuit. The clock selection circuit includes clock logic circuitry to receive an LBIST mode signal and an ATPG mode signal and to generate an indication of whether the test circuit is operating in either the ATPG mode or the LBIST mode, a multiplexing circuit to receive an ATPG clock and a functional clock as input and output a selected one of the ATPG clock and the functional clock, and a clock gate circuit enabled in response to enable signals. The enable signals are an inverse of a selected one of the ATPG clock and the functional clock. The clock gate circuit receives the indication of whether the test circuit is operating in either the ATPG mode or the LBIST mode and generates a test clock as a function of the indication.

Claim (Index 3):
The test circuit of  claim 1 , further comprising a clock generation circuit configured to generate the ATPG clock, wherein the clock generation circuit is operable in a reset phase, a shift mode, and a capture mode, the clock generation circuit comprising:\n a first circuit configured to perform a reset sequence in the reset phase, pass a shift clock for use in the shift mode, and to pass a PLL clock for use in the capture mode.
