Abstract:
1. A semiconductor body having at least one integrated circuit formed at a surface thereof, the at least one integrated circuit comprising: A. a core functional input; B. an input terminal pad; C. an input buffer having an input coupled to the input terminal pad and an output coupled with the core functional input; D. a first test lead, a second test lead, and a third test lead; E. a first test switch having a lead connected to the output of the input buffer, a lead connected to the first test lead, and a control input; F. a second test switch having a lead connected to the input of the input buffer, a lead connected to the second test lead, and a control input; and G. switch control circuitry having outputs connected to the control inputs of the first test switch and the second test switch, the switch control circuitry including a multiplexer having an output connected to the input of a capture-shift memory, the capture-shift memory having an output connected to the input of an update memory, the update memory having a control output connected to the control input of a switch, the multiplexer having an input connected to a serial test data input lead, and the output of the capture-shift memory being connected to a serial test data output lead.
