  • Patent number: 4696005
    Abstract: Apparatus for applying for a plurality of test cycles data specifying a plurality of test conditions to a multiple pin electronic circuit. A random access memory includes at a plurality of higher order addresses a complete data field for a plurality of test cycles. Some of said data fields include an operational code indicating that a minority of data bits in a field are to change in a consecutive number of following test cycles. A hold register is connected to receive each addressed row of test data from the memory. The higher order addresses of a memory addressed to produce complete data fields in the hold register. An operational code will be decoded to indicate a number of subsequent consecutive test cycles where a minority of data in the hold register are to be changed. The lower order addresses of the memory are subsequently addressed for a number of consecutive test cycles indicated by the operational code.
