Semiconductor devices, circuits and methods apply both system logic tests and external interface tests via a common series of boundary shift registers residing on the semiconductor chip. In an exemplary embodiment, a test access port receives an external testing signal from a source outside the semiconductor device, and an on-chip test module (e.g. a built-in self-test (BIST) module) contained within the semiconductor device provides an internal testing signal for the system logic. Control logic selectively provides appropriate input testing signals to the boundary shift registers and receives and processes appropriate output signals from the boundary shift registers in each testing mode. Using the various control techniques, a common set of boundary scan registers may be used to implement, for example, an IEEE 1149.1 interface, a BIST isolation wrapper scan chain, a BIST-mode input/output control, or the like.
