Abstract

A first bitline driver includes a multiplexer for outputting data and write mask signals in functional mode, and test vector signal in test mode; a latch to latch the data signal in functional mode and the test vector signal in test mode; a latch to latch the write mask signal in functional mode and the test vector signal in test mode; a latch to latch the test vector signal and provide it to a scan output; and a write circuit for writing data to a memory cell based on the data signal. A second bitline driver includes a latch to latch a data signal in functional mode if a write mask signal is deasserted and to latch a test vector signal in test mode; a latch to latch the test vector signal and provide it to a scan output; and a write circuit for writing data to a memory cell.
