Various embodiments of the present invention relate to a device for
testing an integrated circuit. According to one embodiment, the device
comprises a first connector coupled to receive a device under test and a
second connector coupled to receive compressed test data by way of test
equipment. The device also comprises a decompressor coupled to receive
compressed test data, and provided decompressed test data to the device
under test. Embodiments implementing two different clocks to improve the
speed of testing integrated circuits are also disclosed. Various methods
for coupling test signals to a device under test are also disclosed.
