Zusammenfassung:Testing an integrated circuit (IC) having numerous terminals coupled to numerous digitally controlled impedance (DCI) modules, where the numerous DCI modules control configurable impedances of the numerous terminals. The IC further includes a control circuit having outputs coupled to enable inputs of the numerous DCI modules, where operating the IC in a test mode configures the control circuit to selectively couple a control signal to the enable terminals of the numerous DCI modules. One DCI module of the numerous DCI modules can be enabled at a time facilitating testing of the configurable impedances of the I/O terminals.
