Abstract

Techniques for testing an integrated circuit (IC) are disclosed. A controller in the IC retrieves first testing data from a first memory in the IC. The controller transmits the first testing data to a first built-in self-test (BIST) core. The controller receives a response from the first BIST core, relating to a test at the first BIST core using the first testing data. The controller determines a status of the test relating to the IC based on the response.
