Abstract
Generating test input includes initializing a current pseudo-random value at a test input generator coupled to a circuit component. Write data is received from the circuit component. The following are repeated to generate next pseudo-random values as test input. The current pseudo-random value and the write data are retrieved. A next pseudo-random value is generated from the current pseudo-random value and the write data according to a generation function. The next pseudo-random value is transferred to the circuit component as the test input.
