A set of levels generating circuits, such as a set of digital-to-analog converters,
is designed into an integrated circuit on-die. The levels generating circuits apply
direct current (DC) voltage levels to on-die sense amplifiers to test sense amplifier
trip points for "input low voltage" (VIL) and "input high voltage" (VIH). The levels
generating circuits are controlled by a set of configuration bits, which may be
accessible through the boundary-scan register or the input/output (I/O) loop back
pattern generator. The levels generating circuitry allows testing of one number
of integrated circuit input pins using a smaller number of input pins.
