Abstract
According to an embodiment, a method for testing a triple-voting flop (TVF) is provided. The method includes providing a first and a second scan enable signal by a control circuit to, respectively, a first scan flip-flop and a third scan flip-flop of the TVF; receiving a third scan enable signal at the second scan flip-flop of the TVF; providing a scan input signal to the first scan flip-flop, the second scan flip-flop, and the third scan flip-flop; controlling the first scan enable signal, the second scan enable signal, and the third scan enable signal; receiving, at an output of the TVF, a scan output signal; and determining whether the TVF suffers from a fault based on the scan output signal and the controlling of the first scan enable signal, the second scan enable signal, and the third scan enable signal.
