Abstract

An integrated circuit includes a monitored circuit and a signal analyzer circuit. The signal analyzer circuit includes a logic circuit that determines if a condition signal satisfies a condition to generate an output signal. A first-in-first-out (FIFO) buffer circuit stores opportunistic data indicated by a monitored signal received from the monitored circuit in response to the output signal indicating if the condition signal satisfies the condition. A communication channel transmits the opportunistic data stored in the FIFO buffer circuit outside the integrated circuit.
