Abstract
An address decoder for a system is disclosed that can be used for different source nodes in the system. Each address decoder can be configured to perform a plurality of decode methods that can be customized for each source node. A first decode method can be used to determine a target node from a plurality of target nodes based on a destination address of the transaction. A second decode method can be used to assign a dedicated target node as the target node irrespective of the destination address of the transaction. The second decode method can be used to route the transaction to the dedicated target node for testing and verification operations.
