Methods and apparatus are provided for performing loopback testing of
integrated circuits ("ICs"). In an embodiment of the invention, an IC can
be tested on an undiced wafer by coupling a wireless transmitter of the
IC to a wireless receiver of the IC. Core circuitry of the IC can be
controlled to cause the transmitter to send at least one signal to the
receiver. Upon receipt of the at least one signal, the receiver can send
a signal to the core circuitry, which can determine, and possibly record,
whether the transmission and receipt were successful. The invention
advantageously facilitates efficient testing of unpackaged ICs at the
wafer level.
