Abstract
An integrated circuit incorporating a self-test device and a method for producing a self-testing integrated circuit. The integrated circuit has a program memory with at least one external terminal for loading external test programs. The integrated circuit has a self-test device connected to the program memory, the self-test device executing program commands of a test program loaded into the program memory, the program commands succeeding one another in address terms, for carrying out a self-test of the circuit. The self-test device has an interrupt signal input, through which the self-test device interrupts the test program that is currently being executed by not executing the respective succeeding program command in address terms. Rather, it executes a program jump within the test program, the program jump being triggered by the interrupt signal.
