Abstract

A built-in self test (IBIST) architecture/methodology is provided for testing the functionality of an interconnect (such as a bus) between two components. This IBIST architecture may include a pattern generator and a pattern checker. The pattern checker operates to compare a received plurality of bits (for the pattern generator) with a previously stored plurality of bits.
