Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a memory circuit, a read address register coupled to a read address port of the memory circuit, a write address register coupled to a write address port of the memory circuit, and a multiplexer configurable to transmit a read address bit from the write address register to the read address register in response to a read control signal. The read address register loads the read address bit into the memory circuit through the read address port during a test of the memory circuit. The integrated circuit may include a multiplexer configurable to transmit a write address bit from the read address register to the write address register in response to a write control signal. The write address register loads the write address bit into the memory circuit through the write address port during the test of the memory circuit.
