Abstract

A test access port controller is provided for implementing scan testing with a chain of scan latches on an integrated circuit. The test access port controller can implement a structural test or a performance test. Selection between the two types of test is achieved through logic circuitry of the test access port controller. An integrated circuit and a test system are also provided.
