Abstract

A test circuit to test rise delay/fall delay performance on a semiconductor device may comprise a latch to latch data at its input responsive to a clock signal. The latch may source an output signal related to the data latched. A buffer chain may be configured to serially propagate the signal sourced by the latch from the latch output back to the clock input, as the clock signal. A reset/set input of the latch may be configured to receive a reset/set signal from an intermediate node of the buffer chain.
