Abstract
A method and system for remotely testing an integrated circuit installed in an integrated circuit system is presented. The integrated circuit is equipped with test structures for testing functional blocks within the integrated circuit, and a test access mechanism configured to receive test vectors for controlling the test structures. Test vectors are applied, via the parallel port of a remote computer and parallel cable, to pins of the parallel port of the integrated circuit system, which are connected to the signal ports of the test access mechanism implemented in the integrated circuit of interest, thereby allowing remote testing of the integrated circuit while the integrated circuit is installed in its native system.
