Abstract: A chip having a debug function includes functional circuitries, a selector circuitry, a data reconstruction circuitry, and a switching circuitry. Each functional circuitry includes a decoder circuit that stores a corresponding set of debug signals and outputs a corresponding debug signal in the corresponding set of debug signals to be a corresponding signal in first signals according to a corresponding address signal in address signals. The selector circuitry selects second signals from the first signals according to the address signals. The data reconstruction circuitry selects first data from the second signals according to split signals and outputs the same to be debug data. Each first data is partial data of a corresponding signal in the second signals. The switching circuitry determines whether to output the debug data or at least one output signal associated with the functional circuitries via output ports according to switching signals.

Abstract: Disclosed is a register data checking device including: an original parity-bit generator generating an original parity bit according to register data to be inputted into a register, and then writing the original parity bit to the register; and a detecting circuit. The detecting circuit includes: a scanning circuit reading the register data and the original parity-bit from the register; an arbitrator enabling the scanning circuit when an access status of the register is free, and thereby forwarding the register data and the original parity bit from the scanning circuit; at least one controlled parity-bit generator generating a controlled parity bit according to the register data from the arbitrator when the access status of the register is free; and at least one parity-bit checking circuit comparing the original parity bit from the arbitrator with the controlled parity bit when the access status is free, and thereby outputting a check result.
