Abstract

A method and interface circuit for testing an electronic device with a single logic pin is disclosed. The comprises forming a data stream having three level bands; inputting the data stream through a single logic pin; and decoding the data stream to identify a scan_in signal, a scan_shift_enable signal and a scan_out signal and returning contemporaneously a scan_out signal as an output through the same logic pin. The interface circuit includes a decoder connected to the single logic pin.
