Abstract
A testing circuit is provided. The testing circuit includes a clock cone, a series of shift register chains, and a control circuit. The clock cone is divided into a plurality of fan-out partitions operated in the same clock domain. The shift register chains are configured to shift out one-hot signals on demand and each shift register chain includes multiple registers with the same amount as fan-out partitions. The control circuit receives the one-hot signals from the shift register chains and enables the divided fan-out partitions therefore.
