Abstract

An integrated viterbi decoder structure and method, the viterbi decoder receives test input signals at a distributor, an ACS circuit and a path memory and compares the output signals generated by the test input signals with predetermined test signals so as to test the internal operations of the viterbi decoder without the need for complex logic housed with the viterbi decoder.
