Abstract
A method and apparatus for testing VLSI processors using a bit-sliced bus-oriented data path include data and control monitors and BIT for the on-chip memory. The data monitor is used to compress output data produced by the data path. BIT implementation of a functional test coupled with the data monitor are used for an off-line self-test of the data path in field. The control monitor is used to decouple the testing task of the control section from that of the data path.
