Method for configuring an integrated circuit for emulation with optional on-chip emulation circuitry

An integrated circuit is provided having a core circuit for performing a plurality of functions, a first pad for receiving an emulator output signal, a pulldown device connected to said first pad, a first logic circuit having an input connected to said first pad and an output signal for enabling emulator signals, a first plurality of second pads for receiving emulator signals, and a first plurality of second logic circuits with each circuit having a first input individually connected to one of said second pads, having a second input connected to said output signal from said first logic circuit, and having an output connected to a portion of said core circuit.
