Abstract
An integrated circuit is characterized in that circuit parts contained therein are connected to one another via an interface containing at least one scan register chain. The at least one scan register chain is configured such that data can be input into the scan register chain either via the output terminals of one of the circuit parts or via the input and/or output terminals of the integrated circuit. In addition, data can be output from the scan register chain either at the input terminals of one of the circuit parts or at the input and/or output terminals of the integrated circuit.
