Abstract

An integrated circuit with a multiplexer system and a control circuit is described. The multiplexer system has an output terminal connected to an output pin of the integrated circuit and input terminals connected to internal nodes of the integrated circuit. In a normal mode the control circuit generates the control signals so that any one of the internal nodes is connected to the output pin so that the integrated circuit can function flexibly. In a test mode so that a different internal node is connected to the output pin in each cycle of a test clock signal.
