Patent ID: 8700963

Claim:
An integrated circuit wafer comprising: A. a first die including: i. first core circuitry having inputs and outputs; ii. first bonds pads; iii. first input buffers, each first input buffer having an input connected to one of the first bond pads and having an output connected to a separate input of the first core circuitry; and iv. first test circuits, each first test circuit having a data input connected to one output of the first core circuitry, an encoded expected data and mask data input coupled to another one of the first bond pads, and the data input being selectively coupled to the another one of the first bond pads as an output; and B. a second die including: i. second core circuitry having inputs and outputs; ii. second bonds pads; iii. second input buffers, each second input buffer having an input connected to one of the second bond pads and having an output connected to a separate input of the second core circuitry; and iv. second test circuits, each second test circuit having a data input connected to one output of the second core circuitry, an encoded expected data and mask data input coupled to another one of the second bond pads, and the data input being selectively coupled to the one of the second bond pads as an output.
