The invention includes an integrated circuit (IC). The IC includes an internal
test bus (ITB). The IC also includes a number of deskew clusters connected to the
ITB. The deskew clusters each include a deskew controller. The IC also includes
an integrated test controller (ITC) connected to the ITB. Further, the IC includes
a debug unit connected to the ITC. The ITC generates a single global control signal
and the deskew controller generates a first local command signal.
