Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and devices that enable access to a first interface control circuit via test probes of a second interface. In some embodiments a memory device includes a first interface including first ports that are inaccessible to a test probe. The memory device also includes a first interface control circuit configured to control operation of the first interface. The memory device further includes a second interface including second ports. At least a portion of the second ports include test pads that are accessible to the test probe. In addition, the memory device includes a multiplexer configured to operably couple the first interface and at least a portion of the second interface to the first interface control circuit. The multiplexer is configured to selectively enable test probe access to the first interface control circuit via the test pads.
