Scan chain links which step data through a scan chain using only a single control signal, and which require a reduced number of transistors to scan data into and out of a latch. One scan chain link, which allows the output of a scanned latch to "wiggle", uses eight transistors and only a single control signal. Another scan chain link, which prevents the output of a scanned latch from "wiggling", and which allows data to be maintained in a latch during a scan operation if it is so desired, uses twenty-five transistors and two control signals: one control signal for stepping data through a scan chain, and an additional control signal for preventing the output of a scanned latch from wiggling.
