| abstract |
A multi-interface integrated circuit in which, during the chip's lifetime in use, only one interface is active at a time. However, special test logic powers up all of the on-chip interface modules at once, so that a complete test cycle can be performed. All of the interfaces are exercised in one test program. Since some pads are inactive in some interface modes, mask bits are used to select which pads are monitored during which test cycles. |
