    摘要: In a semiconductor integrated circuit provided with a circuit for testing an input buffer threshold voltage, an output node of a first logic gate having its output logic value determined by an output signal of an input buffer, and an output node of a second logic gate having its output logic value determined by a condition setting signal from an external source, are connected to a common signal line. When a standardized voltage for discriminating the threshold voltage is applied to the input buffer, if the input buffer malfunctions, the output signal of the first logic gate collides with the output signal of the second logic gate on the common signal line, so that a power supply current greatly increases.

    摘要: A programmable analog multi-channel probe system is embedded within a device under test for coupling test points to external measurement points of the device under test. Programmable input buffer amplifiers are coupled to the test points to couple the data at those points to their outputs when enabled. The data from the input buffer amplifiers are input to respective routers to provide a plurality of outputs. Each common output from the routers is coupled as an input to an output buffer amplifier that provides the data as an output when enabled. The data at the output of the output buffer amplifiers is converted to a differential signal for transmission to the external measurement point by differential input/output amplifiers that have a reference level, selected from a plurality of reference levels including an internal reference level, as an input for comparison with the data from the output buffer amplifiers. A termination circuit may be provided for each output to provide appropriate impedance interface with the measurement points.

    摘要: A wafer scale test system for testing redundant integrated circuit dies formed on a semiconductor wafer includes wafer scale test pads formed on the wafer and interchip multiplexor means for directing test signals applied to the wafer scale test pads to the individual integrated circuit dies. The interchip multiplexor means includes an input/output buffer circuit for receiving test signals from the wafer pads and applying the test signals to selected interchip multiplexor lines routed to the individual circuit dies. Readouts from output pads on said integrated circuit dies are routed back through the input/output buffer circuit to the wafer test pads to provide test output signals. Low cross-section connecting means are provided across dicing lanes between the integrated circuit die contact pads and the interchip multiplexor lines to avoid shorting during the dicing operation. Additionally, line protection circuits are provided to prevent destruction of the integrated circuit dies should shorting occur during dicing. The integrated circuit dies and wafer scale test system may optionally be partitioned into several separate groups to prevent faults in the interchip multiplexor system from rendering the entire wafer useless.
