Abstract

An integrated circuit according to the invention comprises at least a first and a second circuit (1, 2 resp.) and a first and a second signal path (10-20 and 11-21 resp.) between the first and the second circuit. The first and the second signal path each comprise a selection element (30) which has a first input (30a, 31a) coupled to the first circuit (1), and a second input (30b, 31b). The selection element (30) has an output (30c, 31c) coupled to the second circuit (2). The second input (31b) of the selection element (31) of the second signal path (11-21) is coupled to a memory element (41). The output (40a) of the selection element (30) of the first signal path (10-20) is coupled to an input (40a) of the memory element (40).
