ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus of triggering a device, such a pin limited integrated circuit, to enter a test mode includes embedding a circuit into the device to detect the presence of signal conditions not encountered in normal operation. Pre-defined ones of such signal conditions when detected cause the device to activate one or more test modes by generating one or more internal test signals.
