Reducing mission signal output delay in IC having mission and test modes

An integrated circuit apparatus includes a switching circuit that provides respective signal paths to permit a mission signal, a test signal, and a boundary scan test signal to share an output terminal. The signal path associated with the mission signal imposes a smaller switching delay than do the...

Zusammenfassung:An integrated circuit apparatus includes a switching circuit that provides respective signal paths to permit a mission signal, a test signal, and a boundary scan test signal to share an output terminal. The signal path associated with the mission signal imposes a smaller switching delay than do the signal paths associated with the test and boundary scan test signals.
