An apparatus and method for transferring hidden signals in a boundary scan
test interface is disclosed, which defines an invalid state transition
loop in a boundary scan test interface and initially monitors an input of
state transition diagram of the boundary scan test interface so that an
output of a first data is generated when a first predetermined input
stream conforming to the invalid state transition loop is detected, and
then an output of a second data is generated when a second predetermined
input stream is detected, wherein the second predetermined input stream
is different from the first one and also conforms to the invalid state
transition loop.
