Abstract
A scan clock gating controller and a method for performing a stuck-at fault test among multiple block circuits are provided. The scan clock gating controller includes a decoder and multiple clock gating circuits. The decoder is configured to generate multiple one-hot control signals according to a selection signal. The multiple clock gating circuits are configured to generate multiple final scan clocks to the multiple block circuits according to the multiple one-hot control signals, a scan enable signal and an initial scan clock. When the scan enable signal has a first logic value, the multiple clock gating circuits enable the multiple final scan clocks, respectively. When the scan enable signal has a second logic value, the multiple clock gating circuits control whether to enable the multiple final scan clocks according to the multiple one-hot control signals, respectively.
