Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a core memory array and a test mode compression circuit. The test mode compression circuit receives test mode data from the core memory array. A multiplexer receives read data from the core memory array and test mode data from the test mode compression circuit. The multiplexer receives a test mode compression signal and selectively transfers one of the read data and the test mode data dependent at least in part upon the test mode compression signal.
