Abstract
An automated method is provided for designing an integrated circuit. A net list of an integrated circuit design is generated, wherein the net list includes a scan chain having a sequence of individual scan cells. A sequence of two or more individual scan cells of the scan chain is identified as a candidate for replacement by a custom shift array macro cell. The identified sequence of two or more individual scan cells is then replaced with a custom shift array macro cell that provides a functionally equivalent shift function as the replaced sequence of two or more individual scan cells. The custom shift array macro cell includes only two input pins and one output pin.
