Abstract
A circuit block within an integrated circuit includes a multiplexor (225, 625) configured to pass either a first signal or a second signal, wherein the first signal is independent of the second signal. The circuit block further includes a first flip-flop (210, 610) configured to receive an output of the multiplexor and a second flip-flop (215, 615) configured to receive the second signal. In a first mode of operation, the multiplexor passes the first signal to the first flip-flop. Further, the first flip flop and the second flip-flop operate independently of one another. In a second mode of operation, the multiplexor passes the second signal to the first flip-flop. Further, the first flip-flop and the second flip-flop both receive the second signal.
