A method for testing signals of integrated circuits (ICs). According to
the invention, a first IC chip successively drives a number of test
patterns one at a time. At the receiving end, a second IC chip latches in
the test patterns one by one. Meanwhile, the second IC chip determines
whether a currently latched test pattern is correct or not. If it is
incorrect and at least an error bit occurs, depending on the type of the
test patterns, the second IC chip indicates that there exists ground
bounce or power bounce in a signal trace corresponding to the error bit.
