Abstract
A method can be used to test an electronic circuit. The method includes applying a test stimulus signal to the input node, collecting a sequence of N-bit digital test data at the output port. The N-bit digital test data is determined by the test stimulus signal applied to the input node. The method also includes applying N-bit to R-bit lossless compression to the N-bit digital test data to obtain R-bit compressed test data (R is less than N) and making the R-bit compressed test data available in parallel format over R output pins of the circuit.
