Abstract
A design structure embodied in a machine readable medium used in a design process and an integrated circuit for high performance SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) read bypass for BIST (built-in self-test). The design structure and integrated structure includes a dynamic to static conversion unit for a read output of an SRAM array, and a test bypass unit integrated into the dynamic to static conversion unit, so as to allow the read output of the SRAM array to pass through in a non-test mode without impacting performance, and bypass the read output of the SRAM array and allow a test signal to pass though in a test mode.
