Abstract: A digital Power on Reset (POR) circuit includes N counters; N comparators each connected to an output of a corresponding counter of the N counters to compare with a corresponding specific value, N is an integer greater than or equal to 1; and a comparison block connected to an output of each of the N comparators and configured to output a reset signal based on the output of each of the N comparators. The digital POR circuit utilizes a complete digital design, enabling efficient integration with a processing circuit. The digital POR circuit can utilize the same libraries, cells, etc. as other digital components in the processing circuit, and can be tested with other digital components in the processing circuit.

Abstract: Aspects relate to monitoring timing margin of logic paths and its degradation through an integrated circuit. In one example an apparatus includes an integrated circuit having a logic path formed in the integrated circuit and a monitor circuit formed in the integrated circuit. The monitor circuit is configured to monitor a condition of the logic path and to generate a diagnostic code sequence to indicate the condition of the logic path over time. A monitor controller is configured to receive diagnostic codes of the diagnostic code sequence, to store the diagnostic codes in a log with a corresponding time stamp and to determine a condition of the integrated circuit based on the diagnostic code sequence.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to clock gating. An example integrated circuit includes an oscillator that outputs a clock signal to a clock gating system that generates and provides a gated clock signal to a data storage circuit. The clock gating system includes a first digital logic circuit having an input coupled to the oscillator to receive the clock signal, an active-low latch that includes an input coupled to an output of the first digital logic circuit and an input coupled to receive an enable signal, a second digital logic circuit that includes an input coupled to the oscillator and an input coupled to the output of the active-low latch, and an active-high latch that includes an input coupled to the output of the second digital logic circuit, an input coupled to receive the enable signal, and an output configured to provide a gated clock signal to the data storage circuit.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling actions of testbench components present within a test environment based on a testing context is disclosed. In some embodiments, the method includes receiving a controllable actions packet from each of a plurality of testbench components in the test environment; parsing a testing context associated with a test sequence; generating a context-based actions control packet for each of the plurality of testbench components, based on the testing context metadata and the list of controllable actions corresponding to each of the plurality of testbench components; and transmitting the context-based actions control packet to an associated testbench component of the plurality of testbench components.

Abstract: Error protection analysis of an integrated circuit includes receiving a design model for the integrated circuit, and a list of error checkers associated with the design model. The design model is traversed from each of the error checkers to group storage cells of the design model into checking groups. The design model is updated to include, for each checking group, a unique group identifier associated with each of the storage cells in the checking group.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for testing a tested circuit. In an implementation, a chip test circuit transmits input data of a test vector to a data distribution circuit through an input of a test bus, and transmits the input data of the test vector to a scan input channel of a tested circuit through the data distribution circuit. After scanning of the tested circuit ends, output data of the test vector of the scan output channel of the tested circuit is transmitted to an output of the test bus through the data distribution circuit to complete the test of the tested circuit. A dynamic correspondence between the data distribution circuit and the test bus is implemented by configuring a first selector, so that test resources can be dynamically allocated.

Abstract: A memory built in self test (MBIST) controller of an MBIST circuit outputs first data. One or more errors is injected in the first data to produce second data. The second data is stored in the memory block. The memory block outputs the second data stored in the memory block. The MBIST controller receives the second data and detects an error in the second data based on a comparison with the first data, the error indicative of a failure of the MBIST. The MBIST controller provides an indication of failure of the MBIST to a processing core external to the MBIST circuit which performs diagnostic action in response to receiving the indication of failure of the MBIST. The processing core validates implementation of the diagnostic action.

Abstract: An address and command port interface selectively enables JTAG TAP domain operations and Trace domain operations within an IC. The port carries TMS and TDI input and TDO output on a single pin and receives a clock signal on a separate pin. The addressable two pin interface loads and updates instructions and data to the TAP domain within the IC. The instruction or data update operations in multiple ICs occur simultaneously. A process transmits data from an addressed target device to a controller using data frames, each data frame comprising a header bit and data bits. The logic level of the header bit is used to start, continue, and stop the data transmission to the controller. A data and clock signal interface between a controller and multiple target devices provides for each target device to be individually addressed and commanded to perform a JTAG or Trace operation.
