Abstract
Through addressing circuitry, a sampling circuit can choose a unique internal node/signal on an encapsulated/packaged chip to be output to one or more drivers. The chosen signals available at the target node are directed either through a select circuit to an output pin, or directly to an output pin. In a preferred mode, decode circuits used to select a unique node are serially connected, allowing for a large number of signals to be made available for analyzing without a large impact on circuit layout. Because of the rules related to abstracts, this abstract should not be used in the construction of the claims.
