Abstract
A diagnostic mechanism for an integrated circuit 2 uses a radio interface circuit 16 to provide communication between an external diagnostic device 22 and one or more diagnostic circuits 26, 28 within the integrated circuit 2. The use of a radio communication link for diagnostic data and control reduces the required pin count for the integrated circuit 2.
