Abstract
A circuit for delaying a signal. The circuit includes a scan register, a logic circuit, and a programmable delay circuit. The scan register stores scan data and the logic circuit selectively decodes the scan data. The programmable delay circuit is coupled to the logic circuit and delays a signal a programmable amount of time in response to the decoded scan data.
