scan register (circuit design) A digital {logic circuit} which can act either as a {flip-flop} or as a serial {shift register} and which is used to form a {scan path}. The most common design is a multiplexed {flip-flop}: ___ ____ normal in --| \ | | | |------|D Q|---- normal/scan output scan in ----|___/ mux | | | | | test mode ----+ +----|> | flip-flop | |____| clk ---------------+ The addition of a {multiplexor} (mux) to each {flip-flop}'s input allows operation in either normal or test mode. The output of each flip-flop goes to the normal functional logic as well as to the scan input of the next multiplexor in the scan path. The other common design is {level-sensitive scan design} (LSSD). (1995-02-14) | |

Seymour Cray several of their {supercomputers}. Cray has been a charismatic yet somewhat reclusive figure. He began Cray Research in Minnesota in 1972. In 1988, Cray moved his {Cray-3} project to Colorado Springs. The next year, Cray Research spun it off to create {Cray Computer}. In 1989, Cray left Cray Research and started Cray Computer Corporation in Colorado Springs. His quest to build a faster computer using new-generation materials failed in 1995, and his bankruptcy cost half a billion dollars and more than 400 jobs. The company was unable to raise $20 million needed to finish the {Cray-4} and filed for bankruptcy in March 1995. In the summer of 1996, Cray started a Colorado Springs-based company called {SRC Computers, Inc.} "We think we'll build computers, but who knows what kind or how," Cray said at the time. "We'll talk it over and see if we can come up with a plan." On 1996-09-22, aged 70, Cray broke his neck in a car accident. Surgery for massive head injuries and swelling of the brain leaving him in a critical and unstable condition. (1997-03-02) | |
