Abstract
The organization of a frame portion of an integrated circuit chip to include buffers and drivers as well as a power supply for testing functional elements arranged in a "framed" portion of the chip permits smaller drivers and buffers and a lower power supply to be used during later normal operation. The frame portion may be separated completely after testing.
