Incoming bit stream is processed by a single state machine into a circular buffer. Circular buffer accumulates subunits of data to form a major data unit. State machine recognizes the start of major data unit and flags the location of the major data unit in the circular buffer.

Method and apparatus for combined framing and packet delineation

Optical transducers disposed on an integrated circuit correspond to test points thereon. The state of optical transducers perceived by an optical sensor is correlated to test points. Alignment of the optical sensor relative to the optical transducers is accomplished electronically or mechanically.

Method and apparatus for optical probing of integrated circuit operation

State of test points on an integrated circuit are encapsulated in a telemetry frame that is wirelessly conveyed to a test system. Test points may be logic levels or analog levels converted into representative multi-bit values. Conveyance off the circuit may be by radio frequency or optical emission.
