Abstract
A system for providing a test result from an integrated circuit to a status analyzer. A deserializer is configured to deserialize, into data frames, messages received from the integrated circuit. The messages include the test result and are received from the integrated circuit in a serial data format. A frame sync module is configured to synchronize the data frames, output the synchronized data frames, and generate a clock signal. A gateway module is configured to receive the synchronized data frames from the frame sync module in accordance with the clock signal, convert signal levels and signal timings associated with the synchronized data frames from a first format used by the frame sync module to a second format used by the status analyzer, and provide the synchronized data frames to the status analyzer in accordance with the signal levels and the signal timings in the second format used by the status analyzer.
