Abstract
A method and system for scanning data from a specific latch in a matrix array of latches. The matrix array is made up of vertical selector lines and horizontal data lines. Each latch is coupled at an intersection of a selector line and a data line by a transistor. By turning on the transistor, the contents of the latch can be selectively read or written to.
