Abstract
Methods and apparatus for testing devices using serially controlled resources have been described. Examples of the invention can relate to an apparatus for testing a device under test (DUT). In some examples, an apparatus can include an integrated circuit (IC) having a serialized input coupled to test circuits, the test circuits selectively communicating test signals with the DUT responsive to a test control signal on the serialized input.
