Abstract:
A circuit includes a test circuit in an integrated circuit to test signal timing of a logic circuit under test in the integrated circuit. The signal timing includes timing measurements to determine if an output of the logic circuit under test changes state in response to a clock signal. The test circuit includes a bit register that specifies which bits of the logic circuit under test are to be tested in response to the clock signal. A configuration register specifies a selected clock source setting from multiple clock source settings corresponding to a signal speed. The selected clock source is employed to perform the timing measurements of the specified bits of the bit register.
