Control device for interface control between a test machine and multi-channel electronic circuitry, in particular acording to Boundary Test Standard.

摘要

There is disclosed a control device for interfacing between a test machine and electronic circuitry under test. The test machine generates a pattern that is composited with background data in a predetermined configuration. Each output bit is specified as either foreground or background through an indicator memory. Foreground data and background data are put at their intended positions while using a barrel shifter, decompressing means and an output multiplexer. After the test, a counterpart procedure is used for extracting exclusively relevant data at the expense of dummy data.
