    摘要: Disclosed is a hybrid built-in self test (BIST) architecture for embedded memory arrays that segments BIST functionality into remote lower-speed executable instructions and local higher-speed executable instructions. A standalone BIST logic controller operates at a lower frequency and communicates with a plurality of embedded memory arrays using a BIST instruction set. A block of higher-speed test logic is incorporated into each embedded memory array under test and locally processes BIST instructions received from the standalone BIST logic controller at a higher frequency. The higher-speed test logic includes a multiplier for increasing the frequency of the BIST instructions from the lower frequency to the higher frequency. The standalone BIST logic controller enables a plurality of higher-speed test logic structures in a plurality of embedded memory arrays.

    摘要: A test circuit is disclosed for testing embedded synchronous memories. A BIST controller is used to address the memory and provide reference data that is compared to the memory output. Pipeline registers are used to allow the BIST controller to perform reads and/or writes during every clock cycle. In one aspect, the BIST controller includes a reference data circuit that stores or generates data for comparison to the memory output. A pipeline register is positioned before the reference data circuit or between the reference data circuit and compare circuitry. Additional pipeline registers may be positioned between a compare capture circuit and the compare circuitry. The pipeline registers free the BIST controller from having to wait for a read to complete before starting the next read or write. To reduce the number of pipeline registers needed, a negative-edge BIST controller can be used with a positive-edge memory or vice versa.

    摘要: A CPU-based system 10 and method for testing embedded memory. The technique employs the on-chip CPU 20 itself to test the embedded memory 24. An assembly code program is loaded into the device under test (DUT) 12 to test the memories, determine a repair solution, and write out the repair solution and raw failure information to the tester for defect analysis. The test is driven by an external programmable clock that is provided by the tester to allow the DUT 12 to run up to its maximum input clock rate in order to maximize throughput. The test is not dependent on the pattern rate of the tester.

    摘要: A synchronous semiconductor memory device is operable in a normal mode and an alternative mode. The semiconductor device has a command bus for receiving a plurality of synchronously captured input signals, and a plurality of asynchronous input terminals for receiving a plurality of asynchronous input signals. The device further has a clock input for receiving an external clock signal thereon, with the device being specified by the manufacturer to be operated in the normal mode using an external clock signal having a frequency no less than a predetermined minimum frequency. An internal delay locked loop (DLL) clocking circuit is coupled to the clock input terminal and is responsive in normal operating mode to be responsive to the external clock signal to generate at least one internal clock signal. control circuitry in the device is responsive to a predetermined sequence of asynchronous signals applied to the device's asynchronous input terminals to place the device in an alternative mode of operation in which the internal clocking circuit is disabled, such that the device may be operated in the alternative mode using an external clock signal having a frequency less than the predetermined minimum frequency. The alternative mode of operation facilitates testing of the device at a speed less than the minimum frequency specified for the normal mode of operation.
