Abstract
Methods and apparatus for increasing front-end testing throughput by allowing simultaneous access to multiple banks are provided. Techniques described herein take advantage of the reduced number of data lines required for transmitting compressed test data. Data lines effectively freed up due to compression of test data read from one bank may be used to carry test data for another bank.
