System and Method for Wirelessly Testing Integrated Circuits
Abstract
A system and method for wirelessly testing integrated circuits provides a multiple layer interface to wirelessly test integrated circuits. A wireless testing structure for an integrated circuit comprises a wireless transceiver and a wireless test interface. The wireless transceiver is configured to receive test information from a tester and transmit test result information to the tester. The wireless test interface is configured to interface between the wireless transceiver and the integrated circuit. The wireless test interface comprises a media access controller and a test control block. The media access controller is configured to implement a media access control protocol for wireless communication. The test control block is configured to decode test information received from the tester, to trigger a test of the integrated circuit in response to the decoded test information, and to encode test result information that is generated by the integrated circuit in response to the test.
