Abstract
In a shift register latch scan string such as that employed in level sensitive scan design (LSSD) methodologies, primary input and/or primary output signal line connections are distributed in a substantially uniform fashion along the length of the shift register scan string configuration so as to provide a mechanism for testing for fault conditions existing along the scan string.
