Abstract: A unit (108) to be triggered, for example a memory, receives data under the control of Boundary Scan Test (BST) logic, via a BST chain (110). The invention utilizes a pulse circuit (202) which generates a pulse trigger for the unit (108) on the basis of a stimulus presented via the BST chain (110). This saves time, because it is no longer necessary to supply the entire pulse trigger via the BST chain and the supply of the stimulus now suffices.
